ard = light (AHRD) (very, very common term in Google; ARD is Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, pool of broadcasting corporations, in Germany; ARD is Anthropology Review Database; ARD is Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases; ARD Electronics in the UK; ARD is Australian Ramp Design; ARD Text of Germany; a last name; a masculine first name, short for Adriaan or (in Bible) Addar; appears in the name of a number of accommodations in Scotland and Ireland; ARD is Amateur Radio Directory; ARD is Americans for Radio Diversity; ARD is Adult Respiratory Distress or Acute Respiratory Distress; "ard" means "high" in Irish; "Osten Ard" is the setting of Tad Williams's epic fantasy books Memory, Sorrow and Thorn)

Shortened this word. Dropped an "a" off the end, to make it one syllable and three-letters long.
