Abstract

An abbreviation (from Latin brevis, meaning short) is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Usually, but not always, it consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase. For example, the word abbreviation can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbrev. Abbreviations can be simple or complex. Simple abbreviations are formed by dropping the ending or starting syllables of the stem. For example: caps (capital letters), demo (demonstration), intro (introductory sentence) is the first sentence of a newspaper article that should immediately interest the reader ad (advertisement).
