Morphology

CPM = C + P + M

An initialism (C P M) whose letters do not convey meaning to learners unless they know the expansion (cost per mille); not derivable from component letters.

Etymology

CPM stands for cost per mille, where mille is a Latin word meaning 'thousand', so it literally means 'cost for a thousand' and shows the price you pay for one thousand ad views.
