'abstractedly' originates from the Latin word 'abstractus,' where 'ab-' meant 'away from' and 'trahere' meant 'to draw.'

'abstractus' transformed into the French word 'abstrait,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abstract' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'drawn away,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'preoccupied or absent-minded.'
