abbekommt

abbekommt is not a standard German term and is generally considered a nonstandard spelling or a mistake. In standard German, the form does not occur as a single lexical unit. The confusion most often arises from two related but distinct items: the separable verb abkommen and the noun Abkommen.

The verb abkommen means to drift away, to deviate, or to disengage, and in present tense is written as two words: er kommt ab. Its past participle is abgekommen. The noun Abkommen, on the other hand, means an agreement or treaty and is always capitalized: ein Abkommen. This noun is used in contexts such as international agreements or formal accords, not as a verb.

If abbekommt appears in text, it is typically a spelling error or a misinterpretation of one of the standard forms. For example, if the intended meaning is digression from a topic, the correct expression is vom Thema abkommen or er kommt vom Thema ab. If the intended meaning concerns an agreement, the correct term is Abkommen (the noun) or the verb phrase sich auf ein Abkommen einigen / ein Abkommen schließen.

Etymology notes that ab- is a prefix indicating separation or detachment, and kommen is the base verb; together, standard usage forms have separate words or the noun Abkommen, not a single compound abbekommt.

In sum, abbekommt is not recognized as a proper word in standard German; correct variants depend on whether the intended meaning involves deviating (vom Thema abkommen) or a treaty/agreement (das Abkommen).
