The term began to be used in English around the 15th century, mainly in a medical sense. Over time, its usage expanded to various contexts, including legal and programming terminology. In contemporary usage, 'aborted' has gained a wider range of meanings, often used in discussions around technology, health, and actions taken to prevent unintended outcomes.
