Morphology

PTP = precision + time + protocol (opaque) = P + T + P

PTP is an initialism formed from initial letters; the letters themselves do not transparently convey meaning to learners via standard morphological rules.

Etymology

PTP is an abbreviation made from the first letters of Precision, Time, and Protocol, where Precision means 'great accuracy' and Protocol means 'a set of rules'. So, PTP is a short name for the rules that keep clocks on a network very accurate and in sync.
