avoke

t. [Lat. avoco = to call away: a = from, and voco = to call.] To call away; to keep off. "All were adinitted to every consultation there anent; yet the absence from the weightiest consultations of prime noblemen and barons, and all ministers but two, was not much remarked, nor their presence sought, if their negligence, or ados, or miscontent, did avoke them."-Baillie's Letters, 1. 183. (Jamie son.)
