Answer:
An acronym is a collection of the initial letters of words to make a new word that is taken or pronounced as a word of its own.
Explanation:
An acronym is an abbreviation that is formed by taking the first letters of the words. And these new words taken from the letters form a new name and become a part of everyday language.
It is different from an abbreviation in that in an abbreviation, all the individual letters are pronounced out while an acronym does not. In an acronym, the collected letters form a new word that is pronounced as a word.
Examples of abbreviations are ATM- automated teller machine, ID K- I don’t know, etc.
Examples of an acronym are NATO- North Atlantic Treaty Organization, OMG- Oh My God/ Oh My Goodness, NASA- National Aeronautics and Space Administration, etc.
