Plural of abettal; multiple instances of abetting or assisting in wrongful acts.
Formed by adding the plural suffix -s to abettal (abet + -al). This maintains the same root as abet (Old French abeter) with alternative nominalization.
The existence of both abetment and abettal shows how English loves synonyms—lawyers and writers can choose whichever sounds more natural, though abetment is far more common in modern legal language.
