<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
We should think through this systematically (CoT):

Step 1: What's the inquiry instructing me to do?
Determine the amount of character "s" in the text "Abstruse"

Step 2: Deconstruct the word.
A-Y-S-T-R-U-S-E


Step 3: Oops, I made a mistake. The word I used above is incorrect. Let me correct that.
The correct word is "Abstruse", not "aystruse". I apologize for the error.

Step 4: Let's continue with the correct word. Spell out the word with numbered positions:

1. A
2. B
3. S
4. T
5. R
6. U
7. S
8. E

Step 5: Determine the positions of the letter "s".
The letter "s" appears at the 3rd, 7th positions in the word.

Step 6: Enumerate the letters.
A: 1, E: 1, R: 1, T: 1, U: 1, S: 2, B: 1

Step 7: Inspect the letters we quantified.
The specified letter was "s" and there were 2 overall.
