Definitions

A deviation from established practices or traditions.

Examples

“The first [phase] calls for leaders impatient with the past, and temperamentally disposed to an irreverent break⟳ with tradition. They must be agitators who can fan the flames of discontent and gather forces with the strength to tear⟳ down the old.”

“The break⟳ with tradition that Francis, who has died aged 88 after suffering from double⟳ pneumonia, represented even managed to trump the shock⟳ value of the resignation of Benedict, who was the first pope for 600 years to take⟳ that option rather than die⟳ in office. Immediately, Bergoglio signalled unambiguously that he intended to be a different kind of pope, one for the 21st century.”
