         DefinitionShort: to lose one’s motivation to accomplish some valid goal

         Glosses: ['to become discouraged', 'to lose heart', 'to give up']

         Comments: In place of a negative expression such as ‘not to give up,’ it may be better in some languages to use a positive equivalent, for example, ‘to keep on’ or ‘to continue.’
