CVC
Job application document
CVC stands for consonant-vowel-consonant, describing the structure of simple syllables like "cat," "dog," or "sit." The term appears most often in early literacy education, where CVC words are among the first children learn to read and spell.
In finance, CVC is the card verification code—the three digits on the back of a credit card.
