Doorstop,

My dictionary definition fits my proposal.

ac·ro·nym

n.
A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.

Gordon.

Doorstop,

I've been educated!

What Would We Want When We Win? As an alliteration, cannot be an acronym, as WWWWWWW DOES not form a word.

Where 'Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus' does, as in SCUBA.

Gordon.
