- 1（計畫、任務等）中止的；（醫）流產的
An aborted plan, mission, or attempt is one that was stopped before it could finish — a rocket launch can be aborted because of bad weather, or a robbery can be aborted if the thieves get scared. In medicine, 'aborted' can describe a pregnancy that ended before the baby could be born, either naturally or through a medical procedure — this is a sensitive topic, and people choose their words carefully around it.
From the word’s history
From abort + -ed.
abort（中止）加 -ed，表示「被中止的」。
組成Ab- (away) + ort (to rise, be born), from Latin oriri.
