Abjure may be used to mean “to abstain from” or “to give up,” but often is used with the meaning of “to disclaim formally or renounce upon oath” (it comes from the Latin jurare, meaning “to swear”).

I know the meaning of the sentence. However I can't understand why "the" was used in place of "a".
What's the reason why "the" was used instead of "a"?
