Understanding Abstract

An abstract refers to something that exists purely as an idea or concept without having a physical or tangible form.

It can also serve as a condensed summary, concisely presenting the key points. An abstract can summarize or distill the essential elements of a larger concept or multiple concepts.

The term “abstract” originates from a Latin word meaning “pulled away” or “detached,” indicating that it is separated from the realm of physical or concrete reality.
