The word "abbreviation" is relatively long because it derives from Latin roots, specifically "abbreviare," which means "to shorten." The length of the word reflects its etymological history and the complexity of the concept it describes. Additionally, many words in English that are based on Latin or Greek roots tend to be longer due to the structure and nature of those languages. Thus, while it denotes shortening, the term itself is an exception to that principle.

Abbreviation for analysis?
When I came across this link, I was searching for a 4 letter abbreviation for analysis. The only suggestions I found was "anal". Well, obviously, "anal" is a word unto itself... and not the politest for use in a professional document. Probably this is even the reason you went searching as well for a better abbreviation. At first try, I took the first letter from the four syllables and came up with "anls"... but that did not suggest the full word to me. So I used "anlz" which I think is a suitable abbreviation for analyze, the root word of analysis. So, in my opinion, the best abbreviation is "anls", but you might consider "anlz" if it fits your situation.
