    Wofür steht die Abkürzung "..."?

    [abbreviation]
    Sources
    Ich möchte in einer Email auf Englisch fragen:

    "Wofür steht die Abkürzung "..."?"

    Wie schreibe ich das am besten?

    Beispielsweise:
    I am not familiar with "...". Could you provide a brief explanation, please?
    Could you explain the meaning of "...", please.
    What does "..." stand for?
    What is the meaning of "...".
    I am a bit confused by "...". What does it mean?

    If I understand the question, you are asking about the significance of the three dots in a sentence, as in "Bob and Ann went to school, then to town . . ., then home."

    The dots show that words were omitted from the quote.

    @HappyWarrior:

    No I'm not asking about the significance of the three dots.

    Oxymorphon understood me.

    What does the abbreviation "..." mean / stand for?

    that's how I would put it.
