The Abscissa is the x-coordinate. 

In the cartesian coordinate system in mathematics, the two coordinates are specified by two perpendicular directed lines (the x-axis or abscissa, and the y-axis or ordinate), as well as the unit length, which is marked off on the two axes.

“Abscissa” was the clue in an October 2007 NYTimes Crossword puzzle.
