  • Acrobat:  This word originated in the year 1500 AD, refers the basis of its foundations to the spectacles of Ancient Greece. "Akrobatos", the word that defines Acrobat, is expressed in its simplest form by "Akros", that is, the one who danced and played balancing games on the tips of the hands and feet. Here the Greek word "acro" takes on the meaning of "top" to compose the meaning of the word "acrobat".
  • Acronym: An acronym also known as acronym is the word formed by the junction of the first letters or the junction of the initial syllables of a word group, which usually represent a title. Here the Greek word "acro" assumes the sense of "beginning" to compose the meaning of the word "acronym".
  • Acrophobia:  Acrophobia is the irrational fear of height. This phobia occurs when the individual is in high places, where there is no risk or danger situation, and even then, he panics, his heart rate increases and his muscles become tense. In this case, the Greek word 'acro' takes on the meaning of 'height' to compose the meaning of the word 'acrophobia'
