Definition
plural of abstraction; general ideas or concepts removed from specific examples; abstract artworks.
Etymology
From abstraction + -s plural suffix. Abstraction itself comes from Latin abstrahere 'to draw away.'
Kelly Says
All of human civilization depends on abstractions—money, laws, and numbers only work because we've agreed to treat them as real even though they only exist in our minds.
