late 14c. in Latin form abyssus, \"depths of the earth or sea; primordial chaos;\" early 14c. as abime \"depths of the earth or sea; bottomless pit, Hell\" (via Old French; see abysm). Both are from Late Latin abyssus \"bottomless pit,\" from Greek abyssos (limnē) \"bottomless (pool),\" from abyssos \"bottomless, unfathomed,\" hence, generally, \"enormous, unfathomable,\" also as a noun, he abyssos \"the great depth, the underworld, the bottomless pit.\" This is a compound of a- \"without\" (see a- (3)) + byssos \"bottom,\" a word of uncertain origin possibly related to bathos \"depth\" [Liddell & Scott]. Watkins suggests a connection with the root of bottom (n.); Beekes suggests it is pre-Greek.

The current form in English is a 16c. partial re-Latinization. Greek abyssos was used in Septuagint to translate Hebrew tehom \"original chaos\" and was used in the New Testament for \"Hell.\" OED notes, \"the word has had five variants, abime, abysm, abysmus, abyssus, abyss; of which abyss remains as the ordinary form, and abysm as archaic or poetic.\" In reference to a seemingly bottomless gulf from 1630s. Old English glossed Latin abyssum with deagenesse, which is related to deagol \"secret, hidden; dark, obscure.\"

\"bottomless gulf, greatest depths,\" c. 1300, from Old French abisme \"chasm, abyss, depths of ocean, Hell\" (12c., Modern French abîme), from Vulgar Latin *abyssimus (source also of Spanish and Portuguese abismo), which represents perhaps a superlative of Latin abyssus or a formation on analogy of Greek-derived words in -ismus; see abyss. It survived only as a poetic variant of abyss; as late as early 17c. it was pronounced to rhyme with time.

1690s, \"unfathomable, unsearchably deep, like an abyss,\" from abyss + -al (1). Since 19c. mainly \"inhabiting or belonging to the depths of the ocean\" (used especially of the zone of ocean water below 300 fathoms), though in 19c. abysmal was more common in oceanography.

Having absorbed the essences of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur into the jet-black world of the abyss, Abyss is an incarnation of true death. Abyss possess Zasalamel's abilities, but far surpasses all of Zasalamel's previous incarnations in every way. The lower half of his torso contains the magnet to the world of abyss, and is constantly drawing energy into it, and its pull can be amplified to draw his enemies close to him, also dealing damage to them. Due to his newfound power he is capable of launching large energy projections, controlling his scythe through telekinesis, and is capable of manipulating gravity to attack his enemies. He is also capable of flight.

He hid behind the scenes during the battle between the cursed sword and the spirit sword, appearing only when their powers reached their zenith. Then, using a secret art, he connected his body to the world of the abyss and created a jet-black magnet that absorbed all forms of energy. His plan was to use this to draw out the essences of the two swords and take them into his body. The unexpected result was his transformation into Abyss, an existence that surpassed all of Zasalamel's previous incarnations and an apparent loss of control over his actions as another, unexplained force began to take control causing him to instantly attack the player which sorts into an Input.

Nightmare and Siegfried then fought against Abyss together and defeated him, releasing Soul Calibur and Soul Edge's essences from the jet-black abyss, thus returning them to the swords, and reverting Abyss back into Zasalamel. 781b155fdc
