Morphology

ORM = operational risk management (opaque) = O + R + M

The letters 'O‑R‑M' do not transparently indicate 'operational risk management'; the expansion must be known.

Etymology

ORM stands for Operational Risk Management, a method to find and control 'risks' during an 'operation'. Think of it as a plan or checklist to 'manage' danger, which is why ORM helps stop accidents.
