Morphology
MIPS = M + I + P + S
The term is a proper-name acronym for a processor architecture; its meaning (the architecture name) is not derivable from the individual letters by typical learners.
Etymology
MIPS as a processor name came from the technical phrase Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages, but a simple memory hook is to treat MIPS as a brand or 'type of processor' known for being small and efficient. That's why when people say a device uses MIPS, they mean it uses that kind of processor inside.
