Morphology
Tdap = T + d + a + p
Tdap is an acronym of initial letters representing disease names; the letters are not productive English morphemes and do not transparently convey meaning to learners unless they know the expansion.
Etymology
The word Tdap is made from the first letters of the three diseases it protects against: Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis, often called 'whooping cough'. So, Tdap is the vaccine that protects you against all three illnesses.
