NIST is an initialism formed from the initial letters of a multiword name; the letters themselves are not meaningful morphemes for most learners, so the connection to the full name is not transparently derivable.
Etymology
NIST is a short name made from the first letters of National Institute of Standards and Technology. It is a United States government agency that makes 'standards'—official ways to measure and guide technology—so when you see NIST it refers to the group that sets the rules companies and governments follow.
