Abbreviation~!~!
Definition:- Abbreviation (from Latin brevis "short") is strictly a shorter form of a word, but more particularly, an abbreviation is a letter or group of letters, taken from a word or words, and employed to represent them for the sake of brevity. For example, the word "abbreviation" can be abbreviated as "abbr." or "abbrev." In a dictionary with no abbreviation section, AUTM (variation of ATM) would come right after "authorize".
Apart from the common form of shortening one word, there are other types of abbreviations. These include acronym and initialism (including TLA), apocopation (that is, apocope), clipping (phonetics), elision, syncope, syllabic abbreviation, portmanteau.
