Norwegian Bokmål

Etymology

From Latin abortīvus (“pertaining to an abortion, miscarriage; born prematurely”), from aborior (“I disappear; miscarry, am 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 (“I rise, appear, am born”), from Proto-Italic *orjōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to move, stir, rise, spring”). Equivalent to abort +‎ -iv, with the suffix from French -if (“-ive”), from Middle French, from Old French, from Latin -īvus, from Proto-Indo-European *-iHwós, from *-wós (creates adjectives from verb stems).
