Etymology
The word 'abandoning' has its origins in the Middle English word 'abandounen', which came from the Old French 'abandoner' meaning 'surrender, give over'. This in turn can be traced back to the Latin word 'abandonare', where 'ab-' means 'away' and 'andonare' means 'to give over'. The concept of abandoning has been present in human history as people have had to make difficult decisions to leave things or people behind for various reasons.
