Etymology

[edit]

abort +‎ søkende, first part from Latin abortus (premature delivery, abortion; miscarriage), perfect active participle of aborior (I disappear; miscarry, am aborted (of a baby)), a compound from both ab- (from, away from, off), from Latin ab (from, away from, on, in), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (off, away) + and from orior (I rise, appear, am born), from Proto-Italic *orjōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (to move, stir, rise, spring). Last part is the present participle of søke (to search), from Old Norse sǿkja (to seek, look for, search), from Proto-Germanic *sōkijaną (to seek, look for), from Proto-Indo-European *séh₂gyeti (to give a sign), from *seh₂g- (to seek out) and *-yeti (creates transitive imperfective verbs from roots).
