Where this word comes from
From Old Norse abbadís, abbadissa (“abbess”), through Middle Low German abbadisse, from Medieval Latin abbātissa (“abbess, female head of an abbey”). Derived from both Latin abbās, from Ancient Greek ἀββα (abba, “father, title of respect given to abbots”), a borrowing from Aramaic אבא (’abbā, “father”), from Proto-Afroasiatic *ʔab-, and from -issa (“feminine noun-forming suffix”), from Ancient Greek -ισσα (-issa).
