Bonjour,
Le sens de "written off" m'échappe ici. Merci de vos lumières. Il s'agit d'un texte sur les anticipations d'inflation.
...a renewed collapse in oil (where the second year halving in price we had once written off suddenly became much more likely).
Cordialement,
Laurence Bourel

write someone or something off
to drop someone or something from consideration. The manager wrote Tom off for a promotion. I wrote off that piece of swampy land as worthless. It can't be used for anything.

annulé
en général veut dire déprécié dans les textes financiers mais sur les anticipations peut -être signifie annulée
Note from asker:
| je pensais plutôt à quelque chose comme "faire une croix sur", "considérer comme perdu", se résigner |

Note from asker:
| Merci également, mais j'ai retenu ici l'idée de provisoire à cause de "once" |

: j'hésitais entre exclue et écartée, mais finalement, "exclue" m'apparaît plus proche de "mettre une croix sur".
