Abbreviation for Content Management System, software that allows users to create and manage digital content without technical expertise.
Acronym formed in the late 1990s as web publishing became democratized. Combines 'content' (what is contained), 'management' (systematic control), and 'system' (organized method).
CMS technology democratized web publishing by letting non-programmers create websites - it's like having a word processor for the internet. WordPress alone powers over 40% of all websites, making CMS one of the most influential acronyms in digital history.
