Does the word 'aberr' exist in English?
Does the word 'aberr' exist in English? I looked up in the dictionary, and I found some words related to it: aberrant, for instance. But, it seems to me that the verb 'aberr' may not exist. If the word 'aberr' does not exist, where does the word aberrant come from?
