Answer:

Because it started with a fairly short word, brevio, Latin for "short". Then a prefix was added, ab-, to indicate "motion towards" (cognate to "at"). Then the suffix -ated was added to indicate the verb in the past participle form.

Help: Amazing poems written by yourself needed, no love poems
mylen [45]
I see the deadliest storm
I feel it's fullest perfection
I hauled my ghost to see
Just how the corpses appear to be
No longer hollow and empty of color
But instead
Light has replaced their misery
And just knowing that i helped to kill
That little part they hated
Was a new world I learned and embraced
So i stopped raving again
And started to break my chain
To escape this wavering reflection
And create a new one
