Not a standard English word; potentially an abbreviation or informal shortened form of 'contract' or 'contra-' prefix.
If used as an abbreviation, it would derive from 'contract' (Latin 'contractus,' drawn together). If used as a prefix form, it comes from 'contra-' (against or opposite).
This entry highlights how English abbreviations can create ambiguity—'contr' isn't officially recognized in most dictionaries because modern texting prefers clearer shortcuts, and the digital age is actually making abbreviation standards MORE formal, not less.
