Comm

/kɔm/ noun

Definition

An informal abbreviation for communication or communications, often used in technical or military contexts. May also refer to communication systems or equipment.

Etymology

A 20th-century abbreviation of 'communication,' formed by truncating the longer word. Common in military, technical, and business jargon where brevity is valued.

Kelly Says

This abbreviation reflects our era's tendency to compress language as communication speeds up. Interestingly, 'comm' can function as both a noun and adjective (comm systems), showing how abbreviated forms often become more grammatically flexible than their source words.
