Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French aba.

Etymology: < French aba (1861 or earlier), of uncertain origin, perhaps shortened < the name of Antoine Thomson d'Abbadie (1810–97), Irish-born French Basque explorer and linguist, who invented the instrument, although d'Abbadie himself states that the word is ‘without etymology’ (in Bull. de la Soc. de Géographie (Paris) (1878) 231, where he also claims coinage of the name).

Now historical and rare.

A simplified type of theodolite lacking the artificial horizon sometimes required by the sextant.
