Morphology
ATP = adenosine + triphosphate (opaque) = A + T + P
ATP is an initialism (A‑T‑P) formed from specialized chemical terms; this formation is an abbreviation rather than a productive morphological derivation accessible to average learners.
Etymology
ATP is short for adenosine triphosphate, which means 'adenosine with three phosphates' and the tri- part means 'three'. Those three phosphate parts act like tiny batteries that hold 'energy', so ATP is the cell's main energy supply.
