Shortening is the process and the result of forming a word out of the initial elements (letters, morphemes) of a word combination

Shortening

To make a new word from a syllable (or two) of the original words. The latter may lose it’s beginning (telephone – phone, defence — fence), it’s ending (holidays – hols, advertisement- ad), or both the beginning and the ending (influenza – flu, refrigerator — fridge)

To make a new word from the initial letters of a word group:

U.N.O – United Nation Organization, B.B.C. and et c.

Types of Shortening

clipping

acronyms

blending

abbreviation

C l i p p i n g

is a type of word-building shortening of spoken words

m e d i a l clipping (or s y n c o p e , from Greek «syncope» a cutting up), e.g., fancy (fantasy), ma’am (madam) .

f i n a l clipping (or a p o c o p e , from Greek «apokoptein» — cut off), e.g., cap (captain), gym (gymnasium, gymnastics) , lab (laboratory), ed (editor ) ;

i n i t i a l clipping (or a p h e s i s , i.e. a p h e r e s i s , from Greek «aphairesis» — a taking away ), e.g., cap (captain), phone (telephone), story (history), chute (parachute ) ;

may be combined and result in the curtailed words with the middle part of the prototype retained, e.g., flu (influenza), frig (refrigerator), tec (detective )

structure of the prototype

shortened words correlated with w o r d s , e.g ., cabbie (cabman), nightie (nightdress), teeny (teenager) ;

shortened words correlated with p h r a s e s , e.g. , finals (final examinations), perm (permanent wave), pop (popular music), pub (public house), taxi (taximeter-cab ).

The process of formation is also called t e l e s c o p i n g , because the words seem to slide into one another like sections of a telescope . E.g., brunch (breakfast + lunch), smog (smoke + fog), smaze (smoke + haze), slimnastics (slim + gymnastics ) .

B l e n d i n g is a type of compounding by means of merging parts of words into new one word .

coining a new word from the initial elements of one word and the final elements of another, e.g. , drunch (drink + lunch), skort (skirt + short ) ;

combining the initial elements of one word with a notional word, e.g., mobus (motors + bus), legislady (legislative lady) .

coining a new word by combining one notional word arid the final element of another word, e.g., manglish (man + English), radiotrician (radio + electrician );

A b b r e v i a t i o n is a type of shortening when words are formed from the initial letters of each part of a phrasal term. Abbreviations are pronounced as a series of letters, i.e. the alphabetical reading of the letters is retained. E.g., B.B.C. (The British Broadcasting Corporation), M.P. (Member of Parliament), P.M. (Prime Minister), T.V. (Television), Y.C.L. (The Young Communist League ).

A specific type of abbreviations having no parallel in Ukrainian is represented by Latin abbreviations, which are not read as Latin words but substituted by their English equivalents , e.g., a.m. (ante meridium) – in the morning; p.m. (post meridiem) – in the afternoon;

Definition

Exampels

A c r o n y m s (from Greek «acros» end + «onym» name) are abbreviated words formed from the initial letters of word-combination; the abbreviated written form lends itself to be read as though, it were an ordinary English word and sounds like an English word.

  NATO   /neitou/ — The North Atlantic Treaty Organization,  UNO  /ju:nou/ — United Nations Organization,  SALT   /solt/ — Strategic Arms Limitation Talks,  radar  – radio detecting and ranging;  laser   – light amplification stimulated emission radio;  maser  – microwave amplification stimulated emission radio.

More From Hanging Hyena:

While creating words from your alphabet is one way to create a word from letters, the scrambler can also be used to create anagrams. For example, if you want to find words in your letters, you can do it with a word unscrambler and anagrams will never be the same again. This is a boon to folks who aren’t great at word
scramble puzzles, since you can use a word unscrambler to keep up. It gives you the freedom to enjoy word games such as scrabble or text twist.

Word scramble puzzles are at the heart of many great word games and word puzzles. You can unscramble your way to happiness.
One great thing about creating a word from letters is that you can be certain that each letter stands alone and has its own meaning. The language we speak uses letters to convey things about thoughts and feelings. Need word lists? This site can provide them as well.

You should think about how the letters in the word are part of what makes up the word. Think about how they relate to each other and how they combine to form the word. If you take all the letters of the word, there will be several hundred of them and not all of them are used for forming the word.
Our word solver is built around this concept. The word scramble solver is a great example of it; you can use it to simplify a word search.

When you want to create a puzzle and solve it, the next step is to choose the best words. You might be using a dictionary to help you but for most people it would be better to do it by using a word unscrambler. This is also known as a word descrambler.

When choosing the words, you need to pick ones that you think are related to the letters that you have. For example, when you make a puzzle, you need to make sure you don’t use the same letters twice. Although it might seem obvious, it will be very difficult to create a puzzle that isn’t related to any letters.

There are a lot of books and games out there that involve spelling words and trying to get letters that stand for different words. However, these kind of games only help people who are already familiar with the meanings of letters.

When you create a puzzle that involves letters, it will be much easier for people who aren’t familiar with letters to break the puzzle down. That is why if you want to create a word from letters, you need to use a scrambler to create anagrams.

There are many reasons why you would want to use this type of tool, but the main reason is that it makes it easy for people to figure out a puzzle without using a dictionary. This will help people who don’t know the alphabet and want to figure out how to solve a puzzle.

When people get ready to write a book or create a blog, it can take a while to write all the words and then to actually read the words and phrases. It is much easier to use a scrambler to create anagrams and these will help you get started writing and reading the words quickly.

Word generators are becoming more popular because people want to be able to solve puzzles as well as write them. This is a great way to solve anagrams without using a dictionary.

It doesn’t matter if you are using a scramble helper, letter scrambler or Scrabble helper, you will be able to create a puzzle that is related to the letters you have. Many people will be surprised at how much easier it is to solve anagrams with a scrambler.

If you are using a scramble helper or Scrabble helper, you will be able to create anagrams without using a word finder. One of the fun benefits of getting good at unscrambling words.
