ABSTRACT
To take or withdraw from; as, to abstract the funds of a bank. To remove or separate. To summarize or abridge.
An abstract comprises—or concentrates in itself—the essential qualities of a larger thing—or of several things—in a short, abbreviated form. It differs from a transcript, which is a verbatim copy of the thing itself and is more comprehensive.
