Etymology
From English abolitionist, from abolition, either from Middle French abolition, or directly from Latin abolitiō (“abolishing, annulling, abolition”), from aboleō (“to retard, destroy, abolish”), from both ab- (“away, from, off”), from Latin ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”) + and from *oleō (“to grow”), from Proto-Italic *oleō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂oléye-, from *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”). Equivalent to abolisjon + -ist, with the suffix from French -iste (“-ist, -istic”), from Latin -ista (“-ist; one who practises or believes”), from Ancient Greek -ιστής (-istḗs), alternative form of -τής (-tḗs), from Proto-Hellenic *-tās, probably from Proto-Indo-European *-teh₂.
