It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "abgewiesen", "aufgerissen", "abgelassen", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is abgerissen, spelled A-B-G-E-R-I-S-S-E-N.
