Etymology
Abbreviation comes from Latin parts ab- 'away' and brevis 'short', so it literally means 'making something short'. Think of the English word brief, which is from the same root; an abbreviation is a short form of a longer word or name, like 'Dr.' for 'Doctor' or 'USA' for 'United States of America'.
