Definition of the word abstractly

The word "abstractly" has its roots in Latin, with the prefix "ab-" meaning "away" or "from" and the word "trahere" meaning "to draw" or "to take". In the 15th century, the Latin phrase "abstrahere" emerged, which means "to draw away" or "to isolate". This phrase eventually evolved into the English word "abstract", which means "separated from material existence" or "non-physical". The adverbial form "abstractly" emerged in the 17th century, meaning "in an abstract manner" or "away from material existence". The word describes a way of thinking or perceiving that is disengaged from concrete reality and focused on theoretical or conceptual ideas. Throughout the centuries, the word "abstractly" has been used in various contexts, including philosophy, art, and science, to describe the process of abstracting or generalizing concepts and ideas.
