Remember that 'abmelden' is a separable verb, so in the past participle, the prefix moves to the end: 'Ich habe mich abgemeldet.'

From the German prefix 'ab-' (off, away) and the verb 'melden' (to register).

The verb is separable, meaning the prefix 'ab-' can be separated from the verb in certain grammatical constructions.

ab-

off, away

prefix

melden

to register
