Plural of above; things located in higher positions or the upper regions.
From 'above' (Old English 'abufan,' combining 'a-' on + 'bufan' above) plus plural '-s' suffix; archaic/rare pluralization of a directional word.
English doesn't usually pluralize directional words like 'above,' making 'aboves' feel strange to modern ears—but medieval writers used it freely.
