Etymology

absorbering +‎ -s- +‎ koeffisient, first part from Latin absorbēre, present active infinitive of absorbeō (“absorb”), from both ab- (“off”), from ab (“in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off”), + and from sorbeō (“I suck in, drink up”), from Proto-Italic *sorβeō (“to suck in”), from Proto-Indo-European *srobʰéyeti (“sucking”), from *srebʰ- (“to sip”) and *-éyeti, from *-yet + with the suffix from Old Norse -ingr m, -ingi m, -ing f, from Proto-Germanic *-ingō, *-ungō.

Last part from Latin coefficiēns (“coefficient”), from coefficio, from both co-, from con-, from cum (“at”), from Old Latin com, from Proto-Italic *kom (“at”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóm (“at”), perhaps from *ḱe + and from efficio (“I make”), from both ex- (“out”), from ē, ex (“out, from”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵʰs (“out”) + and from faciō (“I do”), from Proto-Italic *fakjō (“to make”), from earlier *θakjō, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁k-yé-ti, from *dʰeh₁- (“to do”).
