Abbreviation Quiz

[Trivia Quiz] Words That Are Actually Abbreviations

This is a quiz where you guess the full names of things you’ve been using unconsciously, which actually turn out to be abbreviations.

It’s a fun bit of trivia, so give it a try if you like.

For example, shokupan (sliced bread) is actually short for staple-food bread, kyokasho (textbook) for instructional-use book, keizai (economy) for “governing the world and saving the people,” and enka (a traditional ballad genre) for “speech song.” It’s fascinating that words you’d never expect to be abbreviations—and that won’t even appear when you try converting them on a computer—are in fact shortened forms.

It sounds fun not only as a quiz but also as something to learn as knowledge, doesn’t it?
