This got me curious so I had to look the word up!
“Abecedarian (/ˌeɪbiːsəˈdɛəriən/) refers to
a beginner, a student, or something arranged alphabetically (like the alphabet itself). Derived from the Latin abecedarius (A-B-C-D), it denotes a rudimentary or foundational level. Key uses include defining a novice, describing an alphabetical poem, or representing early education approaches.

Wonder why the e was before the c ?

Abcde briefly became a popular name among the folks of the "I'm going to give my child a name that no one knows how to pronounce, is spelled oddly, is guaranteed to get him/her bullied in school and will definitely get his/her employment applications rejected immediately" faction.
Apparently, it's pronounced AB-SIDY....
