'abstractional' originates from the word 'abstraction,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'abstractio,' where 'ab-' meant 'away from' and 'trahere' meant 'to draw.'

'abstractio' transformed into the French word 'abstraction,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abstraction' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'the act of drawing away,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the process of considering something independently of its associations, attributes, or concrete accompaniments.'
