List of acronyms and initialisms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      • acronym = an abbreviation pronounced as a series of constituent letters, e.g., SARS = severe acute respiratory syndrome
      • initialism = an abbreviation pronounced wholly or partly using the names of its constituent letters, e.g., CD = compact disc
      • pseudo-blend = an abbreviation whose extra or omitted letters means that it cannot stand as a true acronym, initialism, or portmanteau (a word formed by combining two or more words).


      (a) = acronym in the example: SARS - (a) Severe acute respiratory syndrome

      (i) = initialism in the example: CD - (i) Compact disc

      (p) = pseudo-blend in the example: UNIFEM - (p) United Nations Development Fund for Women

      (s) = symbol (none of the above, representing and pronounced as something else; for example: MHz - Megahertz)
