Hi Madison,
They're both close synonyms, for sure, but abrogate is more highbrowed (snooty), coming from the Latin "Abrogatio, the Latin term for legal annulment under Roman law."

My dog says 'abrogate' comes from the saying, "Hey, Brother, open the gate," which got shortened to "A-Bro-(open the)-Gate."
