Hey, look what I found in the dictionary :

Denial \De*ni"al\, n. [See Deny.]
1: the act of refusing a request; "it resulted in a complete denial of his privileges"
2: an assertion that something alleged is not true
3: (psychiatry) a defense mechanism that denies painful thoughts
4: renunciation of your own interests in favor of the interests of others [syn: abnegation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-renunciation]
5: a defendant's answer or plea denying the truth of the charges against him; "he gave evidence for the defense" [syn: defense, defence, demurrer] [ant: prosecution]

Iteresting, isn't it ?
