Etymology
abort + pille, first part from Latin abortus (“premature delivery, abortion; miscarriage”), perfect active participle of aborior (“to disappear; miscarry, be aborted (of a baby)”), a compound from both ab- (“from, away from, off”), from Latin ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”) + and from orior (“to rise, appear, be born”), from Proto-Italic *oriōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to move, stir, rise, spring”). Last part from Middle Low German pille (“pill”), from Latin pilula (“small ball, pellet; pill”), diminutive of pila (“ball; globe, sphere”) (with the suffix -ula, from Proto-Indo-European *-dʰlom (instrumental suffix)), likely from pilus (“hair”), from Proto-Indo-European *pil- (“one string of hair”).

abortus', Latin Nouns '
