removed or separated from something; abstract in nature; created by abstraction.
From Latin abstractus + -itious artificial suffix. A rare, learned term that emphasizes the artificial or constructed nature of abstractions.
This rare word appears mostly in philosophical texts and represents how learned English speakers in the 1700s-1800s could stack suffixes to create new shades of meaning—'abstractitious' sounds more artificial and constructed than plain 'abstract.'
