Morphology
PTSD = P + T + S + D
PTSD is an initialism for 'post-traumatic stress disorder'; the letters themselves don't convey meaning to learners who don't know the expansion, but the expanded components are transparent.
Etymology
PTSD is the short form of parts that show its meaning: post- 'after', trauma 'wound' or 'deep hurt', stress 'pressure', and disorder 'a problem'. So PTSD means the strong stress and lasting problems that can come after a very scary or hurtful event.
