Abs in the plural is slang for the abdominal muscles.
Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The English prefix ab-, which means âaway,â appears in many English vocabulary words, such as absent, abduct, and absolute.. You can remember that the prefix ab- means âawayâ via the word absent, for someone who is absent is âawayâ from a place, such as school or work.
