noun. The definition of abrasive is something that is harsh or rough, often to an unpleasant degree. An example of abrasive is the attitude of your boss who is always short tempered and yelling at you. Sand paper or SOS pads are examples of abrasives.
The noun abrasion comes to us from the Latin abradere, which means âscrape awayâ or âshave off.â Any area that shows evidence of scratching or scraping can be called an abrasion, like that spot on the front bumper of your car from when you cut it too close pulling into the gas station.
