Abr

/æbɑːr/ noun

Definition

A shortened form or abbreviation, though rarely used in modern English.

Etymology

From Latin 'abreviare' meaning 'to shorten.' This form represents an extremely condensed version of the word 'abbreviate' that never gained widespread adoption in English.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that most dictionaries barely acknowledge it—it's like watching evolution in real time, where some language mutations simply don't survive in the wild.
