abc
Simplicity's first letters
The ABCs are the alphabet, the twenty-six letters from A to Z.
By extension, the ABCs of something are its basic elements or fundamentals: the ABCs of cooking, the ABCs of first aid.
The phrase suggests starting from the very beginning with elementary knowledge.
Also spelled ABC's. (Capitalized ABC is also a major American television network.)
