Morphology

ASMR = autonomous + sensory + meridian + response (opaque) = A + S + M + R

ASMR is an initialism formed from the initial letters of a multiword technical phrase; the letter sequence itself does not allow learners to infer the meaning without knowing the expanded phrase.

Etymology

ASMR comes from the phrase Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a name made by people on the internet to describe a strange, pleasant feeling. The parts auto- 'self', sensory 'related to the senses', meridian 'high point', and response 'reaction' help you remember that ASMR means a self-made sensory reaction that gives a tingling, relaxing sensation.
