From Latin 'abandum,' gerundive form meaning 'a thing to be abandoned.' This legal Latin term appears in medieval documents and property law.
In old legal texts, 'abandum' is the technical term for 'that which shall be abandoned'—it's Latin grammar turned into legal reality, designating something before it's even left behind.
