An acronym is a word made from the first letters of a list, in order. VIBGYOR keeps the seven colours of the rainbow; PAISA keeps the oceans from biggest to smallest — Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, Arctic. The word holds both the items and their order. After you make an acronym, learn what each letter stands for, or the letters alone will not help.
