Abrasive has two related meanings. First, it describes a material that is rough and can be used for scrubbing, rubbing, or smoothing something else - like sandpaper, or a rough cleaning pad you use to scrub a dirty pan. Second, and more common in daily talk, it describes a person's manner - an 'abrasive' person is blunt and harsh, rubbing people the wrong way; they might not mean to be , but their tone feels rough and unpleasant to be around.
（物質）粗糙的、有磨損性的；（個性）粗魯、令人不快的
組成This word probably comes from a Latin word meaning 'to scrape away' - the same idea whether it's a rough surface scraping something, or a rough personality scraping at people's patience.
