What is "clipping"?
Clipping is a word formation process that involves shortening a longer word by removing one or more syllables while retaining its meaning. This process typically results in a more concise form of the original word. For example, "advertisement" can be clipped to "ad", and "gymnasium" can be shortened to "gym". Clipping is commonly used in informal speech and writing, allowing for quicker and easier communication without losing the essence of the original term. It reflects the dynamic nature of language as it adapts to the needs and preferences of speakers.
