Final answer:

Acronyms are formed from the spelling of words or phrases and can be pronounced as regular words or letter by letter. Examples include SCUBA and SO.


Explanation:

Acronyms are neologisms derived from pieces of the spelling of a word or phrase rather than from its pronunciation. They can be pronounced as a normal word based on the derived spelling. For example, SCUBA stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus and is pronounced as [skubə]. Acronyms may also be pronounced letter by letter as initialisms, such as SO for significant other, pronounced as [ɛs o].
