From Latin abortīvus (“pertaining to an abortion, miscarriage; born prematurely”), from aborior (“to disappear; to miscarry, be 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 (“to rise, appear, be born”), from Proto-Italic *oriōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to move, stir, rise, spring”). Equivalent to abort + -iv, with the suffix from French -if (“-ive”), from Middle French, from Old French, from Latin -īvus, from Proto-Indo-European *-iHwós, from *-wós (creates adjectives from verb stems).
