Morphology
CPA = C + P + A
An initialism made from the letters C-P-A; the letters do not transparently convey the meaning 'Certified Public Accountant' to learners.
Etymology
CPA comes from the title Certified Public Accountant, where Certified means 'officially approved' and Public means 'for the people'. So a CPA is an accountant who has passed exams and has a license to do taxes and other official accounting work.
