Word Challenge - new words from long words, term 3, week 5

One of our English (word level work) Learning Objectives is all about understanding how words can be formed from longer words.

This can be done in 3 main/different ways:

- through the omission (missing out) of letters
for example o'clock (is short for 'of the clock')

- through the omission of prefixes
e.g. telephone is commonly shortened to phone

- through the use of acronyms
'Everyone Reading in Class' is commonly called ERIC at Kings'

I want you to think of as many as you can and add them to this post as a comment. Team points for correct answers.
