- Cool, JW. - after asking about a meeting time
JW
; acronym
Just wondering This acronym was formed in written communication. It is not a spoken formation, as it is neither catchy nor really pronounceable in English, but serves as a visual signal for a commonly used phrase. It was used by the source for the sake of brevity and speed in communication when typing. JW is associated with online forms of correspondence where the use of acronyms is common.
Etymology : Via French juste from Latin justus ‘law, right’ + Old English wundor ‘wonder’. J(ust)+ W(ondering)
