Definition: "Abuts" is an action where two objects or things come together to form a unit, often in relation to each other or when they are joined by means of a common connection or line of connection. In everyday language, it is typically used to describe something that sticks out or touches a surface. Here's a more detailed definition: Abutting refers to the action of coming together or touching by an object or entity without causing any damage or harm to each other or its surroundings. Examples:
"The tree was abutting against the house when they fell down."
"The book had been abutting against the table, and as she reached for it, it slipped out of her hand and flew off."
"Her friend's shoes were abutting against the carpet, causing them to bounce up and down loudly."
"They have been abutting each other ever since they met at a party." In both definitions, the object or entity that is touching another object or being pushed against it is considered as an "abutment."
