Push Pull Legs name question

Might be a silly question, but I have to ask: Why is it not called Push Pull Abs Legs?

I think the program is named after the split called push-pull-legs, which usually doesn't have explicit abs days...
and the abs days in the program are more like active rest, the main focus is on push, pull and legs, so I think this is way the name is just push-pull-legs.
Just my thoughts on this

Thanks, I wasn't aware that Push Pull Legs is an established term, so I learned something new!

The abs days certainly aren't very restful for me, guess that means they are working!

I didn't think of the abs days as active rest days but after @lpf said so I thought it made sense. It's meant to be active rest day from push pull and legs. But they can certainly be challenging!
