shortened form of a word or phrase

A short way to write a word, name, or phrase instead of writing all the letters.

الگوی کاربرد: an abbreviation for [word/phrase]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "abbreviation" with "acronym". An acronym is one type of abbreviation (made from the first letters of words, like "UN" or "NATO"), but an abbreviation can also be a shortened form that is not just initials (like "Dr." for "Doctor" or "approx." for "approximately"). Learners also sometimes say "What is the abbreviation of this word?" when a more natural pattern is "What is the abbreviation for this word?"
