The Fruitless Efforts of Abortive Ventures

Abortively means something that fails or does not work out, especially after making a lot of effort or investing a lot of resources.

For example, if you spend a lot of time and money on a project but it ultimately fails, you might say that the project was abortive.

The word is often used to describe situations where something starts out with high hopes and expectations, but ends in disappointment or failure. It can be used to describe both physical and metaphorical projects, such as a business venture, a medical procedure, or a personal relationship.
