FPS = feet per second (semi-transparent) = F + P + S
The initialism directly abbreviates 'feet per second', making the relationship clear when the expansion is known. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
FPS here stands for feet per second, where foot is a unit of length and per means 'for each', so it tells how many feet an object moves in one second. Saying 2700 FPS means the object travels 2700 feet in one second.
