No, not quite. ''ab'' has more to do with the direction, rather than the state. Also, ''sol'' would need to be in the ablative case, instead of the nominative case. Hence, it would be ''ab sole'', "(away) from the sun" etc. | |||
But, I doubt that's what Absol is meant to be broken down to... I'm thinking more of a shortened form of ''absolve'' or ''absolute''. Or maybe even ''ab solis'', with ''solis'' being ''sole'', as in ''solitary''. But I'm not sure whether ''ab solis'' makes sense, let alone be relevant... - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 10:34, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||

>"strongly disagree. The prefix ab- means away/from -- as in ablation, carried away, and ab initio, from the start -"
Either way, wouldn't it still be correct? The name still breaks down into lack of sun.
