abolieron

Abolieron is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb abolir in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It is used to state that a law, institution, or practice was terminated, repealed, or eliminated by a group or authority in the past. The action implied by abolir is to do away with something that had been in force or accepted.

The verb abolir comes from Latin abolēre, meaning to destroy or erase. It entered Spanish through the Romance language family and, in some contexts, through Old French. The noun abolición denotes the act or process of abolishing, and abolition is a closely related concept in many discussions about legal, social, or political reforms.

In usage, abolieron appears in historical and legal narratives as well as contemporary debates about reform. Examples include phrases like “El parlamento abolió la esclavitud” or “Los gobiernos abolieron la pena de muerte,” where a plural subject enacts the repeal or elimination of a rule or practice. The term commonly appears in discussions of civil rights, governance, and legislative changes.

Conjugation note: abolir is a regular -ir verb in the pretérito indefinido, so its forms follow the standard pattern: yo abolí, tú aboliste, él/ella/Ud. abolió, nosotros abolimos, vosotros abolisteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. abolieron. In the imperfect, the forms are abolía, abolías, abolía, abolíamos, abolíais, abolían. This versatility makes abolieron a frequent choice for describing past repeals and reforms.
