How to use "Forfeited" in context?

Forfeited means that something has been surrendered or given up without getting what one was hoping for. This can be done through a variety of means, but the most common happens when someone forfeits a hostage by releasing them unharmed. This type of relinquishment usually happens when the hostage is no longer of any use to their captors and by doing so, removes a potential liability.
