Turned down, an invitation, say (8)

I believe the answer is:

declined

(Other definitions for declined that I've seen before include "Refused or weakened" , "Went through cases" , "Turned down < , fell off" , "Refused, rejected" , "Refused or became weaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
