ábóti
Icelandic
Etymology
From Old Norse ábóti, a term borrowed, likely via Old English abbod, from Latin abbās (“abbot”), itself from Ancient Greek ἀββᾶς (abbâs), from Aramaic אבא (’abbā, “father”). Compare the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Norse variants abbáti, abbati, which may come more directly from Latin or be under stronger influence from it, or hail from the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old English variants abbat, abbad, rather than abbod. Compare also abbadís (“abbess”) and abba.
