Etymology

From abiēs, abiet- (“silver fir”) +‎ -nus (suffix used to form adjectives of material). The -gn- seems to have developed by analogy with semantically similar adjectives in -nus derived from tree names with a stem-final velar consonant, such as salignus, larignus, īlignus from salix (“willow”), larix (“larch”), īlex (“holm oak”).[1]
