GIF is an initialism standing for a technical phrase (Graphics Interchange Format); the letters themselves do not transparently convey the meaning to learners.
Etymology
GIF comes from the full name Graphics Interchange Format, which literally means a 'way to share pictures' on the web. The graphics part means 'picture', so a GIF is a small image file often used for short moving pictures or loops.
