Clip - What is the meaning of clip words?
Answer
"Clip words" are those that retain the sense of the original word or phrase when one or more syllables are cut away. A few examples are the loanwords "deli" and "influenza," which mean "delicatessen" and "influ?" respectively. Clipping or shortening are other names for this procedure.
