キャンセル

キャンセル is a loanword from English "cancel," used as both a noun and a する verb. It applies to reservations, orders, appointments, and contracts.

Common collocations

• キャンセルする: to cancel
• キャンセルになる: to be cancelled (by circumstance)
• キャンセルを受(う)け付(つ)ける: to accept cancellations
• キャンセル待(ま)ち: waitlist (waiting for a cancellation opening)
• キャンセル料(りょう): cancellation fee

COMMON PATTERNS (キャンセルする and キャンセルになる):
キャンセルする names the person who cancels (私(わたし)がキャンセルした). キャンセルになる presents the cancellation as an outcome, without saying who decided — the normal way to announce that an event is off.

Similar words

• 取(と)り消(け)す: to cancel, to revoke (native verb, slightly more formal)
• 中止(ちゅうし)する: to discontinue, to call off (events, plans)

Usage

キャンセル is the most common word for cancelling reservations and orders. 中止(ちゅうし) is preferred for events and scheduled activities. 取(と)り消(け)し is used in official/legal contexts like revoking a license.
