Nguồn gốc từ

h₂epóine-pro The adjective is derived from Late Middle English abiect, abject, from Middle French abject (modern abject, abjet obsolete), and from its etymon Latin abiectus (abandoned; cast aside), an adjective use of the perfect passive participle of abiciō (to discard, throw away), from ab- + iaciō (to throw) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁- (to throw)).
