[ABUT.] [In O. Eng. boteminnes, from the same root, are artificial hillocks designed to mark boundaries.] Gen. in the plural : The but tings or bound ings of land towards any point. (Properly, the sides of a field are said to be adjoining to and the ends abutting on the contiguous one, but the distinction is frequently disregarded.) "Selborne and its abuttals ."-White: Nat.
