Word origin
The word 'abort' comes from the Latin term 'abortus', itself derived from the prefix 'ab-' meaning 'away from' and 'oriri', which means 'to rise'. The meaning evolved in English around the late 14th century, initially referring to a miscarriage or failure to carry to term. Over time, it expanded in use, especially with the rise of technology in the 20th century, to encompass terms related to stopping processes prematurely in various scientific and practical contexts. Today, it is widely used in computing, medical, and casual dialogue, reflecting the varying applications of the concept of halting something that is in progress.
