what is fact an acronym of
An acronym is an abbreviation, used as a word, which is formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word.Usually these components are individual letters (as in NATO or laser) or parts of words or names (as in Benelux).ome apparent acronyms or other abbreviations do not stand for anything and cannot be expanded to some meaning. Such pseudo-acronyms frequently develop as  orphan initialisms ; an existing acronym is redefined as a non-acronymous name, severing its link to its previous meaning.
