The word "abstract" can describe something that exists as an idea rather than a physical object, such as abstract concepts like love or justice. In art, it refers to styles that do not try to represent reality accurately but instead use shapes, colors, and forms to achieve their effect. In academic and scientific writing, an abstract is a short summary of a longer text, giving the main aims, methods, results, and conclusions. More generally, "to abstract" can mean to extract or remove something, such as key information from a larger body of data.
