Relating to or characterized by the ablative case in grammar, or relating to abatement or diminishment.
From Latin abatus (diminished) or relating to the ablative case in Latin grammar. The suffix -ic makes it adjectival.
This grammar term is almost obsolete because Latin isn't taught much anymore—but in the ablative case, you're literally 'carrying away' the meaning, making it a perfect match for the name!
