Abbreviation (from Latin brevis "short") is strictly a shorter form of a word, but more particularly, an abbreviation is a letter or group of letters, taken from a word or words, and employed to represent them for the sake of brevity.
In modern English there are several conventions for abbreviations and the choice may be confusing.
In American English, the period is usually added if the abbreviation may be interpreted as a word, though some American writers do not use a period here.
