"A distinction is made between an acronym and an abbreviation: an acronym can be pronounced while an abbreviation cannot. The entry for an acronym usually appears at the acronym itself, whereas the entry for an abbreviation may appear either at the unabbreviated form or at the abbreviation — depending on which form is most commonly used. When a term is defined under an abbreviation, the entry for the unabbreviated form simply cross-refers the reader to the abbreviation."

An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters or parts of a phrase or a series of words. Acronyms are often used as abbreviations to represent complex concepts, organizations, titles, or terms more concisely. They are pronounced as words rather than spelled out letter by letter. Acronyms may be formed by taking the initial letters of each word in a phrase (e.g., NASA for National Aeronautics and Space Administration), by combining parts of words (e.g., radar for radio detection and ranging), or by blending syllables or sounds (e.g., JPEG for Joint Photographic Experts Group). Acronyms are commonly used in various fields, including technology, science, medicine, government, and business, to streamline communication and facilitate understanding among professionals and specialists. While acronyms can enhance efficiency and clarity, they may also lead to ambiguity or confusion if not properly defined or understood in context. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym]
