/diːnɪˈɡeɪʃən/ · noun
A denial, refusal or contradiction..
[B]y the same token to see Horton's straight denegation. I see Horton say emphatically No—and this for reasons quite conceivable in him, once one apprehends their connection with his wishing above all, beyond anything else that he at this moment wishes, to keep well with Gray.
