語源

First attested in 1541 as labdomen. Borrowed from Middle French abdomen as well as from its etymon Latin abdōmen, possibly from abdō (“conceal”), from ab (“away”) + -dō (“put, place”).

• 韻: -əʊmən
• (accentuation) The variation in stress reflects two distinct historical pathways: the penultimate stress preserves the accentuation of the classical Latin etymon abdōmen, whereas the modern dominant antepenultimate stress represents a naturalized rhythmic shift originating from the Middle French borrowing with ultimate stress, reinforced by the standard accentuation of English three-syllable nouns.
