Acronym में 'nym' यानी नाम है, वही जो synonym और antonym में है। शब्दों के पहले अक्षरों से बना ऐसा नाम जो एक शब्द की तरह बोला जाए — acronym, जैसे NASA।

NYM means 'name', the same part found in synonym and antonym. An acronym is a name built from the first letters of other words and spoken as a word, like NASA.

Exam note

'Onym' परिवार साथ रखिए — synonym, antonym, homonym, pseudonym, acronym। Acronym शब्द की तरह बोला जाता है (NASA); अक्षर-अक्षर पढ़ा जाए, जैसे PM, तो वह initialism है।

Keep the 'onym' family together: synonym, antonym, homonym, pseudonym, acronym. An acronym is spoken as a word (NASA); letters read one by one, like PM, form an initialism.
