abstracts
Condensed scholarly summaries
Abstracts functions as both verb and noun around the idea of drawing something out or away from its context.
To abstract is to remove or separate: The report abstracts key findings from the data.
An abstract is a summary that extracts essential points from a longer work—common in academic papers and conference proceedings.
In art, abstracts are works that don't represent reality directly.
The verb also means to steal, though this use is dated: Someone had abstracted funds from the account.
