Best Answer

An "acronym" (means, "high name"), is a word made out of initials of several others words. Examples might be the best way to describe it:

RAdio

Detection

And

Ranging If you look at the capital letters, they spell, RADAR.

Another one:

Light

Amplification by

Stimulated

Emission of

Radiation or, LASER

Read

Only

Memory or, ROM, as in CD-ROM

and one more:

North

Atlantic

Treaty

Organization or, NATO

Technically, to be an acronym rather than an abbreviation, the resulting word must be pronounceable.

Some call 'ABC', 'CBD', or 'PDF' acronyms. They are really just abbreviations, or 'initialisms'.
