Abortive

/əˈbɔːrtɪv/ adjective

Failing to succeed or produce a desired result; incomplete or unsuccessful; also relating to abortion or miscarriage.

From Latin 'abortivus' (relating to miscarriage, born prematurely), from 'aboriri' (to miscarry). The metaphorical sense of 'unsuccessful' developed from the original biological meaning.
