Morphology

WOD = word + day (semi-transparent) = W + O + D

An initialism of the phrase 'word of the day'; the components 'word' and 'day' are transparent but the abbreviation requires recognition of the acronym to be useful to learners.

Etymology

WOD is short for Word of the Day, meaning 'a new vocabulary word shown each day'. Think of it as a small daily gift from your app to help you remember one new word.
