abortar
/aboɾˈtaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to abort
🚫 abortar = ab- (away) + oriri (to rise): stop the rising before it finishes
Latin abortare comes from ab- (away, off) plus oriri (to arise, be born). So the sense is 'to be born off-course', meaning a process is cut short before completion. English abort shares the same root, so the two words are easy to link.
