abottom

Abottom is a useful word. It means “at the bottom.”

\n The problem is, it’s not a word—yet. I need your help: please use it (in\n email, texts, blogs, magazines, books, tweets/blueps, etc.). Here are my\n selling points:\n

It’s shorter than “at the bottom”
\n People will get it, because atop is already a word (“at the\n top”)\n

Let’s get this thing in the dictionary!

Examples

\n I’ve been finding abottom quite useful in everyday writing. Here are some\n real sentences I’ve written recently.\n

\n \n \n

\n In a note to myself about Vauhini Vara’s (amazing) book, Searches:\n

\n She interleaves her contradictory behavior so beautifully, especially in\n the sentences abottom page 98 and atop 99.\n

In a Val Town blog post (my employer):

\n There’s a status bar abottom the code editor...\n

In a code comment in the Val Town codebase:

\n Don’t rotate these, keep them abottom the list.\n

\n And finally, as I was jotting down what to include on this very page, the\n perfect opportunity to use “abottom” fell right into my lap (or rather,\n fell right into my sentence):\n

\n Abottom the webpage I could include a fine-print note...\n

Background

\n The word abottom popped into my head in December 2025. It popped into my\n head again in May 2026, then again and again and again in August. I’ve\n only done very cursory research on the word, so I welcome your suggestions\n at pete@petemillspaugh.com.\n

\n Here’s the extent of that thin “research”: Google’s Ngram Viewer suggests\n that atop only sprouted up in the last century, and that abottom usage is near-zero but not quite zero.\n
