Explanation and Etymology - (略語) ryakugo
略語 is a Japanese word that means "abbreviation" or "acronym". The first part of the word, 略 (ryaku), means "omit" or "abbreviate", while the second part, 語 (go), means "word" or "language". Therefore, 略語 refers to a word or term that is abbreviated to save time or space. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese writing began to develop. At that time, Japanese people used Chinese characters to write, but often needed to abbreviate words to save space. Over time, these abbreviations became more common and were incorporated into the Japanese language as 略語. Nowadays, 略語 is widely used in Japanese, especially in technical and professional contexts.How to Write in Japanese - (略語) ryakugo
