Quoted By:
>Absol may derive from 物騒 bussō (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ab- ("away from") and sol (Latin for sun), referring to its Dark-type nature, or may also be a reference to a solar eclipse, as many cultures feared a solar eclipse was a sign of end-times or disaster. It may also be a shortening of absolution or absolve, referring to the fact that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from Absalom, a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to Jewish tradition.
