'abstractitious' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'abstractus,' where 'ab-' meant 'away from' and 'tractus' meant 'drawn or pulled.'

'abstractus' transformed into the English word 'abstract,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abstractitious' through the addition of the suffix '-itious.'

Initially, it meant 'drawn away or removed,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'tending to be abstract or difficult to understand.'
