In the AIM (Aeronautical Information Manual) in the back of the book
there is dictionary of Abbreviations/Acronyms. You can get am AIM at
the local airport, or at a bookstore for between $15 -$20. You can
also get for free at

Since a new edition of the AIM comes out every year, you can also
usually find older versions pretty cheap at a used book store. You
wouldn't use an old version for flying or serious study, but for general
interest they work fine. I think I once paid $3 or $4 for a printed,
bound copy of the FAR/AIM (the AIM plus some of the more important
Federal Aviation Regulations) that was a couple of years out of date.
When I'm in the smallest room in my house, it's a lot easier to read
dead tree slices than it is to read a PDF.
