権利や支配を自分の手から離し、相手に委ねる場面を思い浮かべましょう。relinquish は -sh で終わるので、三人称単数現在形では -es を付けて relinquishes になります。
Picture someone letting go of a right or control and allowing another person to exercise it. Since relinquish ends in -sh, add -es to form the third-person singular present: relinquishes.

relinquishes の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語relinquere（後に残す・放棄する）が語源。re-（後に）+linquere（去る・残す）の構成。「立ち去って後に残す」→「手放す」意。関連語：relict（遺物）、delinquent（義務を放棄した→非行の）。同根のlinquereは「離れる」が核心。
Relinquishes is the third-person singular present form of relinquish. Relinquish comes through French from Latin relinquere, meaning to leave behind or abandon. That Latin verb combines re-, carrying the sense of back or behind in this formation, with linquere, meaning to leave. The historical image is leaving something behind, which developed into the modern sense of surrendering possession, control, or a claim. The ending -es is pronounced /ɪz/.
