Abeyance
<ah-bay-yense>

something that is suspended or discontinued.
Buggy whip sales fell into abeyance because of the invention of the automobile.
Memory trick:
abeyance reminds of obey.
we obey the circumstance and stop doing something.
At work:
The use of the bug tracking system fell into abeyance because the software was so good.
