Where this word comes from
abbed + -lig, first part from Old Norse ábóti, abbati, a term likely borrowed via Old English abbod, from Medieval Latin abbās (“abbot”), from Ancient Greek ἀββᾶς (abbâs), alternative form of ἀββα (abba, “father; title of respect given to abbots”) from Aramaic אבא (’abbā, “father, teacher, chief”), from Proto-Semitic *ʔabw- (“father”), from Proto-Afroasiatic *ʔab-, ultimately an onomatopoeic nursery word. Last part from Old Norse -ligr (“-y, -ly, -like”), from Proto-Germanic *-līkaz (“-like, -ly”), from *līką (“body; corpse, dead body”), from Proto-Indo-European *leyg- (“similar, like; image, likeness”).
