Google is an abbreviation for: Global Organization of Oriented Group Language of Earth.
There has been a lot of confusion on the true origin of the word. Some argue that it is generated from a word "googol" which means a huge number.
2. Computer
An abbreviation for "Common Operating Machine Particularly Used for Trade, Education, and Research".
The creators of the first efficient computers probably made up this meaning. If you think it's just made up, try googling the meaning of 'computer abbreviation'.
3. Windows
Windows stands for "Wide Interactive Network Development For Office Work Solutions". This was probably made up by Bill Gates. For what other reason would he have named his software " Windows"?
4. Bra
This is an abbreviation for "brassiere". This is a French word meaning "shoulder strap". Most people never thought this was a short form of another word.
5. Newspaper
Abbreviation for "North East West South Past And Present Event Reports". Most people surely never had an idea that the word "newspaper" was an abbreviation.
6. ETC- Et cetera
7. Pen
Abbreviation for "Power Enriched in Nib"
8. SMILE- This one stands for "Sweet Memories in Lips Expression".
9. PM- Pm used in telling time is a short form of "Post Meridiem".
10. CCTV- Closed Circuit Television.
