Acronyms and Initialisms
An acronym is a kind of abbreviation. It is a word formed by taking letters from a phrase that is too long to use comfortably.
eg: Laser is an acronym of Light AMplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
If the letters do not make a word, but are pronounced individually, as in the CIA or the BBC, it can be called an initialism.
