Definition
Abbreviation for 'manufacturers,' companies that produce goods from raw materials.
Etymology
Abbreviated form of manufacturers, from Latin manufactura (made by hand), from manus 'hand' + factura 'making.' The abbreviation emerged in 20th-century business writing for space efficiency.
Kelly Says
This abbreviation captures the irony of modern manufacturing - a word that originally meant 'made by hand' now represents mass production by machines. The shortened form reflects our accelerated business communication in the industrial age.
