Morphology
ADB = A + D + B
ADB is an acronym/initialism; the individual letters do not convey the meaning of the tool unless the expansion ('Android Debug Bridge') is known, so learners cannot derive the meaning from components.
Etymology
ADB comes from the initials of Android Debug Bridge, where Debug means 'remove problems' and Bridge means 'connection', so you can picture a small bridge between your computer and phone that lets you control and fix the device. So, ADB is a tool you run from your computer to connect to an Android phone and install, test, or fix apps.
