Ab-
ab- (also abs- before certain consonants) is a particle, most often a prefix, that occurs in many languages. In Latin it was both a prefix and a preposition meaning "off, away (from), departing from, outside of" and expressed the idea of removal, absence, separation, or a lower value. It first appeared in English in the Middle English period in words borrowed from Old French, and continued to be borrowed in Modern French words and eventually from Classical Latin, especially in the vocabulary of sciencemedicinebotany, and so on.

Absolute value
In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) of a real number is its numerical value without regard to its sign. So, for example, 3 is the absolute value of both 3 and −3. In computer programming, the mathematical function used to perform this calculation is usually given the name abs().Generalizations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternionsordered ringsfields and vector spaces.The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitudedistance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.
