An anacronym is an acronym or an abbreviation so old or familiar that no one remembers what its letters stand for, such as BASIC or COBOL . By the way, an acronym is not just any abbreviation. It's a word that is short for other words, usually using their initial letters.
Anagram Definition. Anagram is a form of word play in which letters of a word or phrase are rearranged in such a way that a new word or phrase is formed. Anagram is formed by using exactly the same letters of the original word but with a different arrangement. For example, the letters in the word âShakespeareâ can be rearranged to form an anagram âKeshareapesâ. However, an anagram in literature is not a nonsensical arrangement of words as in the previous example.
