| 释义 | > as lemmasabhenry Prefixed to the names of units (esp. of electrical and magnetic quantities) in the practical system to form the names of the corresponding units in the centimetre-gram-second electromagnetic system, as abampere, abcoulomb, abhenry, abohm, abvolt, abwatt, etc. Contrasted with stat- comb. form2.The use of this prefix was suggested at a time when the centimetre-gram-second system of units was the dominant one, units in this system as such being considered absolute (cf. absolute unit n. at absolute adj. and n. Compounds 2). Later, the metre-kilogram-second system (and its successor, the International System of Units (SI)) prevailed, so units in the centimetre-gram-second system were no longer considered absolute, leading to the disuse of the prefix.
