Definition:

Abbreviation (noun): A shortened form of a word or phrase used to represent the original, typically using the initial letters or syllables.

Abbreviations are commonly used in various contexts, such as technical writing, texting, and formal communication, to save time and space. They can also serve as a convenient way to reference complex terms or names in a more concise manner.

Abbreviations are often denoted by periods between each letter (e.g., U.S.A.), although some modern styles omit them for simplicity (e.g., USA).
