I suggest the following being somehow worked into the article:
A common misconception is that the word "Nazi" comes from '''''Na'''tionalso'''zi'''alistische''. This would be an [[acronym]] for the [[German|German language]] compound word, formed from the words ''national'' and ''sozialistische''. However, abbreviating ''sozialistische'' as ''zi'' would be illogical. The true source of the term "Nazi" is the pronunciation of ''nationalsozialistische'', which in German is '''nah-tse'''-oh-NAL-zo-shi-al-ist-uh-shuh.
