English

scoray [572]1 year ago

An acronym is a word created by condensing letters from words in a phrase (often the first beginning of each word) into a single term. NASA is an example of an acronym (an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration)

Although the term's original meaning, which includes words pronounced like letters, is occasionally disputed, it is also the one that is most frequently used. Editors of style manuals and dictionaries do not always agree on the proper names for these abbreviations, and there is some debate over whether the term "acronym" can be used to refer to abbreviations that are not pronounced "as words." These language authorities also disagree on how to properly use punctuation, spacing, and capitalization.

Sometimes more formally referred to as initialisms or alphabetisms, abbreviations created from a series of initials and typically spoken as individual letters
