A bacronym is a word which is not an acronym but is taken to be one and for which a full form is invented by back-formation.

What is it called when you take a word and use every letter once to start off all new words?

The formation of words using the first letters of a name or phrase is an "acronym". The word "backronym" (bacronym) is technically a created phrase that was not the actual origin of the word, whether it is an acronym or not.Example : the non-acronyms Ford and Delta form the backronyms "Fix Or Repair Daily" and "Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport.*This is similar to the use of acrostics in verse or other written forms, where the first letters of consecutive lines spell out a word or phrase.


What is the full form of diary?

There is NO "full form". The word diary comes from the Latin diarium ("daily allowance," from dies "day") "DIARY" is NOT an acronym or abbreviation.The phrase "DARLING I ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU" has been suggested as a bacronym, but like all bacronyms, it significantly post-dates the word and does not qualify as a "full form".
