Morphology
PM = P + M
PM is an initialism (letters 'P' and 'M') representing a Latin phrase; the component letters are not English morphemes learners can use to derive the meaning.
Etymology
PM is short for private message, meaning a message sent 'privately' to one person. So a PM on a website or app is a direct message not shown to everyone.
