brevis is latin for short. the extended word "abbreviation" is just defining the shortening of a word. I think that sounds right.

It is the shortened version used to save time writing or typing.
Like CA for California

*abbreviation*
This how the word is spelled.
Because the word has to make up for the shortness of the abbreviations.
