[Trivia Quiz] Words That Are Actually Abbreviations
In everyday life, many of the words we use as if they were obvious are actually abbreviations—quite a few people have probably had that experience.
You may even have discovered the original, unabbreviated term for the first time.
For example, the word den-sha (“train”) is itself an abbreviation of dendō kyakusha (“electric passenger car”), and looking into how such abbreviations started can be pretty interesting.

For a quiz, you can use creative kanji that have actually won awards, or you can intentionally use original creations devised by the quizmaster.
The latter puts the quizmaster’s sense to the test and might make things even more exciting!
