WORDFORMATION'S WAYS

The shortening of words means substituting a part for a whole, part of the word is taken away and used for the whole. For example, demo (demonstration), dub (double), vac (vacuum cleaner), doc (doctor), fig (figure), Mrs (missis). A shortened word is in some way different from its prototype in usage. The shortened word and its full form have the same lexical meaning but differ only in stylistic reference.
