Definition
A structure that supports the end of a bridge, arch, or dam; the point where something meets or borders something else.
Etymology
From abut (verb, meaning 'to border on') + -ment (suffix forming nouns from verbs), originally an architectural term from French abutement.
Kelly Says
Abutments are invisible heroes of architecture—when you drive across a bridge, you're relying on abutments at each end to absorb all the weight and stress, literally holding the structure in place.
