Abecedarian:
Of or relating to the alphabet, alphabetically
arranged, rudimentary
The history of abecedarian is as simple as ABC,
literally. The term’s late Latin ancestor,
abecadaurius, which means “of the alphabet” was
created as a combination of the letters, a, b, c, and
d plus the suffix aurius. In its oldest documented
English uses, early in the 17th century, abecedarian
was a noun meaning one learning the rudiments of
something, it specifically referred to someone who
was learning the alphabet. The adjective began
appearing in English texts around 1665.
