Is there a word for this?
I was discussing my recent trip to San Francisco with a coworker and mentioned that we rode the "Duck" while there. Coworker asked what the Duck was and I told her that it was the WWII amphibian vehicle and she said "Oh, so they call it a duck because ducks are amphibians?"
Leaving that aside, I explained that, no it was because the vehicle designation was DUKW and the soldiers just started calling them ducks based off of that.
Which brings me, in my rambling and roundabout way, to the reason for this post. Is there a word that means "a word based upon the phonetic pronunciation of an acronym?"
Examples:
Humvee based on HMMWV
Duck based on DUKW

Re: Is there a word for this?
SCUBA is an acronym in its own right. I think what Brian's getting at is words *derived* from that type of acronym; say, if people called a set of SCUBA gear "a scoob" or something.

Can't help with the term, but Jeep is a good example. The acronym was GPV. Shortened to GP, shortened to the phonetic "Jeep."

An acronym is just the initials. YMCA is an acronym, but you don't try to pronounce it as a word. Yimka? Yimsa?

Re: Is there a word for this?
Right. An acronym is just initial letters combined to make a unwieldy term easier to use. If the acronym itself is pronounceable, then it does the job even better. And if the pronounceable acronym is itself a word that is thematically related or mnemonically useful, it's even better better.
Sometimes you even see names given in order to produce a meaningful acronym. Usually these are awkward enough to make you gag, as with the USA PATRIOT ("Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism") Act.

Re: Is there a word for this?
Brian is asking if the transition from acronym to actual word (that specific process) has a term attached.
Like photosynthesis etc
Too slow on my part. Yes initialism is it. I couldn't remember that term. I think it was a rant from Penn at some point

Re: Is there a word for this?
Initialism might work.
Basically, I want to be able to say, "Duck is the [word] of the DUKW" should the need arise again to explain the amphibious vehicle .
So... "The Duck is the initialism of the DUKW which was the WWII amphibious vehicle based on the 2 1/2 ton truck and was used to deliver men and materiel to the beachheads during the invasion of Europe."
I guess that works.

Re: Is there a word for this?
Continued from wiki:
The term acronym is the name for a word from the first letters of each word in a series of words (such as sonar, created from sound navigation and ranging).[1] Attestations for "Akronym" in German are known from 1921, and for "acronym" in English from 1940.[2] While the word abbreviation refers to any shortened form of a word or a phrase, some have used initialism or alphabetism to refer to an abbreviation formed simply from, and used simply as, a string of initials.[citation needed]
Although the term acronym is widely used to describe any abbreviation formed from initial letters,[3] most dictionaries define acronym to mean "a word" in its original sense,[4][5][6] while some include additional senses attributing to acronym the same meaning as that of initialism.[7][8][9] According to the first definition found in most dictionaries, examples of acronyms are NATO (/ˈneɪtoʊ/), scuba (/ˈskuːbə/), and radar (/ˈreɪdɑr/), while examples of initialisms are FBI (/ˌɛfˌbiːˈaɪ/) and HTML (/ˌeɪtʃˌtiːˌɛmˈɛl/).[4][8][10]
There is no agreement on what to call abbreviations whose pronunciation involves the combination of letter names and words, such as JPEG (/ˈdʒeɪpɛɡ/) and MS-DOS (/ˌɛmɛsˈdɒs/).

Re: Is there a word for this?
Then that leaves unanswered the establishment of words based on acronyms that don't form actual, pronouncable words like my first examples of HMMWV and DUKW.

Actually I think "initialism" is just for acronyms that don't form a pronouncable word. CIA and FBI are initialisms. SCUBA and LASER are not.Brian wrote:Initialism might work.

Re: Is there a word for this?
Looking at the examples provided (Duck, Humvee, Jeep), there's no reference to a specific term. Wiki is usually pretty good for back-referencing terminology.
I think the closest thing you're going to get is "colloquialism derived from [explanation]". Colloquialism isn't very specific, but it's a good catch-all.

Brian's examples are far too widely used to be neologisms. They can start out that way, but I don't think you can refer to a word as a neologism forever.zinckiwi wrote:Colloquialism or neologism.

Re: Is there a word for this?
Hmm, not sure about that, as I think using that word would just confuse the person you are talking to (based on the reactions from this thread). I would bet that unless you were talking to a Noam Chomsky-level linguist, or perhaps some crossword or scrabble champion, they are not going to know what that word means if you try to use it in the future to help explain the phenomenon.Brian wrote:Initialism might work.

Re: Is there a word for this?
Yeah, after Bakhtosh's post it made less sense.
Maybe we should band together and come up with a name for a word derived from an acronym that itself is not pronouncable as a word.
I vote for malopracronym.

It's a cool question - because it's the unique type of word that has real roots to an original spelling.
Something like DUKW reminds me of , (and there are probably much better examples, and DUKW may not even be an example, come to think of it) when an acronym is painfully made up of odd words, when they really just wanted that damn acronym in the first place. In that case, when the culture just starts calling them 'Ducks', it's almost like they are helping out this injured little awkward acronym out. (I mean, 'dukw' is nearly not an acroynm).

Re: Is there a word for this?
Words also transform with use. Somewhere in there, a word that was originally an acronym becomes simply a noun. You can tell this happens when people stop ALL-CAPPING it.
A word like "Radar" is already there--few people care that RADAR originally stood for "Radio Detection and Ranging" any more than they care about the etymologies of "mortgage" or "assassin" when they use them. The word is the word, and acronyms are one way words get made.

Re: Is there a word for this?
From my flailing around in Wiki earlier, DUKW was just the designation of the vehicle, and not even a proper acronym *or* initialism because they're letter codes, not initials. "Duck" is effectively an easy-to-say nickname.Unagi wrote:Something like DUKW reminds me of , (and there are probably much better examples, and DUKW may not even be an example, come to think of it) when an acronym is painfully made up of odd words, when they really just wanted that damn acronym in the first place.

Also from flailing about in Wiki, what you're describing is a "backronym", where the letters come first and words are chosen to fit (AMBER Alert was a memorable example).
