ablative absolute
ablative absolute n. Grammar (in Latin) an ablative case of a noun or pronoun with a participle (expressed or implied) in agreement, grammatically independent of the main clause, and expressing the time, occasion, or circumstance of a fact stated, as in sole oriente, tenebrae aufugiunt: at the sun rising, darkness flees away. Cf. absolute adj. 1a. [Ultimately after post-classical Latin absolutus ablativus (first half of the 11th cent. in a continental treatise on rhetoric); compare Middle French ablatif absolut (14th cent.; Middle French, French ablatif absolu), Spanish ablativo absoluto (end of the 16th cent.), Italian ablativo assoluto (1540).]
