>all I knew was that nobody agrees on whether or not it's an acronym.
Yet, I think the extreme scarcity of verifiable acronym origins for words of that era should be enough to mean that the likelihood is vanishingly small. Are there ANY words of similar vintage that can be established to have originated from acronyms? The whole acronym origin thing seems to be a case of projecting 20th Century fashion on to the past.
