1.Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival.
2.Any of various procedures that result in such termination and expulsion. Also called induced abortion.
3.The premature expulsion of a nonviable fetus from the uterus; a miscarriage.
4.Cessation of normal growth, especially of an organ or other body part, prior to full development or maturation.
5.An aborted organism.
6.Something malformed or incompletely developed; a monstrosity.

2.A miscarriage.
3.An aborted organism.
4.Cessation of normal growth, especially of an organ or other body part, before full development or maturation.
