Morphology
IRS = internal + revenue + service (semi-transparent) = I + R + S
The term is an initialism of the phrase 'Internal Revenue Service', whose components directly describe a government agency that collects internal (domestic) revenue. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
IRS is the short form of Internal Revenue Service; Internal means 'inside', Revenue means 'income', and Service means 'work for others'. So the IRS is the government agency that collects the country's income as federal taxes.
