Abkürzung
Sign in to saveAlso known as abbreviations, abbrev.
verkürzte Form eines Wortes oder einer Wortgruppe
An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase used in writing, such as "Dr." for "Doctor" or "etc." for "et cetera." Abbreviations matter because they save time and space when writing, a practice that has been used for centuries, including in medieval manuscripts where scribes developed their own shorthand systems.
