Morphology
FTC = Federal + Trade + Commission (semi-transparent) = F + T + C
The initialism directly represents the full name 'Federal Trade Commission', so meaning is clear if the expansion is known. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
FTC stands for the Federal Trade Commission, where Federal means 'national government', Trade means 'buying and selling', and Commission means 'a group given an official job'. So, the FTC is the U.S. agency that watches for unfair business practices and tries to keep markets fair.
