what is does acronym mean
An acronym is when the initials for something spell out another word. Sometimes, the initials are all capitalized, as with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Other times, the acronym has become accepted as a word, and is no longer capitalized. For example, “lasar” means “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation” and “scuba” comes from “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”.
