Etymology
Absoluteness comes from the word absolute, which is made of ab- meaning 'away from' and the root solv meaning 'to loosen', which you can see in the common word solve. That idea of being 'set free' from ties or limits explains the modern meaning: absoluteness is being 'complete' and 'without any limit or exception'.
