approxinym

A word formed from the initial letters of the words in a series (as with an acronym), but with a slight deviation in the order or inclusion to form a more desirable word. The result is a word that approximately matches the series from which it was derived.

The Assistant Project Manager position was referred to with the approxinym AMP because Ben thought it sounded a lot cooler than however you would try to pronounce APM.

Appronym

A word created by arranging the order of icons on your iPhone .

I got the appronym 'TWin' out of the Times, Wikipedia, and LinkedIn icons, but I'm hoping to start stringing them together into full-blown sentences soon.

approxymate

Pretty much comparable to acting on someone else's behalf.

Visiting every corner of an important event while capturing it all on 4K video to later show to your colleague might be approxymately equivalent to his attending said shindig himself.
