An abstract is a summary or summation of a longer text, article, or treatise, and abstracting can mean condensing and excerpting information.

It can sometimes mean removing material from a text (as in the similar term redacting) or taking information (plagiarizing).

It can also mean considering the nature of an object or event without reference to its physical qualities, such as discussing river flooding without reference to all of its causes and effects.
