Short for advertising control or advertisement control; systems or regulations governing the placement and content of advertisements.
Abbreviated form of 'advertising control' created in 20th-century marketing and media industries; blends 'ad' (advertisement) with 'con' (control).
Ad agencies and regulatory bodies invented 'adcon' as shorthand because the whole idea of controlling ads was becoming its own specialized industry—the word itself is a product of advertising's rise.
