An '''acronym''' is a type of abbreviation consisting of a phrase whose only pronounced elements are the initial letters or initial sounds of words inside that phrase. Acronyms are often spelled with the initial letter of each [[word]] in all caps with no punctuation. | |||
The phrase that the acronym stands for is called its ''expansion''. The ''meaning'' of an acronym includes both its expansion and the meaning of its expansion. | |||
