'abbandono' originates from Italian, specifically the word 'abbandonare,' where 'ab-' meant 'away' and 'bandonare' meant 'to leave or abandon.'

'abbandonare' transformed into the Italian word 'abbandono,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abandon' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to leave or forsake,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to leave someone or something behind, often in a state of neglect.'
