deoxyribonucleic acid
deoxyribo because its sugar is missing one oxygen
nucleic acid because thats what type of biological molecule it is.

DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, Department Network Administrator, Does Not Apply, Did Not Attend, Data Not Available, Do Not Ask, Did Not Answer, Designated National Authority, Digital Network Architecture, Defense Nuclear Agency, Do Not Answer (cell phone), Distributed interNet Applications, Do Not Adopt, Did Not Attack, Do Not Admit, Digital Nonlinear Accelerator, Dermatology Nurses' Association,National Dyslexia Association, Distributed Network Attack, Dynamic Network Administration, Dynamic Network Architecture, Distributed Network Analyzer, Delta Nu Alpha, Direct Network Access, Do Not Abbreviate, Development Needs Analysis, Delaware Nurses Association, Dynamic Network Analyzer, Detroit News Agency, Delayed Neutron Activation, Doctors Net Access, Downriver Numismatic Association, Digital Narrowband Analysis, Distributed Networking Agent , Definitely Not Attractive, Dorchester Neighborhood Association, and Do Not Age.
But the answer you are most likely looking for is deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribose refers to the five-carbon sugar that forms part of the backbone of a DNA helix. Nucleic because DNA was first found in the nuclei of cells, then they were found in mitochondria, chloroplasts (of plant cells), and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.
And acid refers to phosphoric acid, which is also part of the DNA backbone, alternating with deoxyribose.

Deoxyribonucleic acid the one thing you way want to ask is if it's and acid why dose have phosphorus that make it a base so what it really should be called is Deoxyribonucleric base

DeoxyriboNucleic Acid
And RNA would just be Ribonucleic Acid
