What is the full form of COMPUTER ?

 Basically, COMPUTER is not an abbreviated word or acronym, so there is no full form of it. However, computer lovers and users have generated many acronyms and full forms of it. Few are:

C = Commonly

The other is-

The other is-

Another is in a different style:

Remember, these are just terms to describe what a computer is.

The term 'computer' comes from the Latin word 'COMPUTARE', which means 'to calculate' or 'to count.' Originally, it referred to people who performed mathematical calculations. Later, the term was applied to machines that could perform such calculations.
