ABBREVIATIONS:

An Abbreviation 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.
Abbreviations have been used as long as phonetic scripts have existed, in some sense actually being more common in early literacy, where spelling out a whole word was often avoided, initial letters commonly being used to represent words in specific application.
Abbreviations can also be used to give a different context to the word or a word itself.
