- 1沒收；喪失（資格、權利）
To forfeit something means to lose it, or be forced to give it up, as a consequence of breaking a rule or failing to do something. If you forfeit a game, you lose it automatically without playing, usually because you broke a rule or didn't show up. As a noun, a forfeit is the thing given up as a penalty, like a forfeited deposit.
