Etymology

The word 'abstractedly' is derived from the adjective 'abstract', which has its roots in the Latin term 'abstractus', meaning 'drawn away' or 'separated'. The formation of the adverb comes from adding the suffix '-ly' to 'abstract', indicating a manner of performing an action or a state of being. The use of 'abstract' in English dates back to the late 14th century, originally used in the context of the arts and philosophical discourse. It has evolved over time to encompass not only artistic concepts but also mental processes and states of distraction.
