Etymology

From Middle English abhomynable, from Old French abominable, from Late Latin ab?min?bilis (“deserving abhorrence”), from ab?minor (“abhor, deprecate as an ill omen”), from ab (“from, away from”) + ?minor (“forebode, predict, presage”), from ?men (“sign, token, omen”). Formerly erroneously folk-etymologized as deriving from Latin ab- + homo and therefore spelled abhominable, abhominal; see those entries for more.
