Etymology of ABANDONED

The word "abandoned" originated from the Old French word "abandoner", which meant "to surrender" or "to abandon". In turn, this Old French term was derived from the Latin word "abandonare", where "ab" meant "away" or "off", and "andonare" meant "to put under someone's control". Therefore, the etymology of "abandoned" ultimately refers to the act of leaving or surrendering something or someone entirely.
