略

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: The noun 略 (りゃく) means abbreviation or omission, but example forms 略して and 略し are conjugations of verb 略す.
• Basic usage: A long organization name is shortened in conversation; detailed explanation is omitted so only conclusions remain.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Distinguishing the noun headword from verb forms in the examples
  • 略して is a connective form used for abbreviation, and 略し links omission to the following clause. In these contexts both derive from 略す.
