Morphology

abso = absolutely (transparent) = absolute + absolutely

Informal clipped form of 'absolutely' used as an intensifier; the meaning is directly recoverable by speakers who know 'absolutely'.

Etymology

Abso is an informal short form of absolutely, which means 'completely' or 'definitely'. Think of it as the first part of the long word cut off, so saying abso is a quick, strong 'yes' that shows you mean something 'completely'.
