kortvåg
Swedish
Etymology
kort + våg, cognate with English shortwave, used in Swedish at least since 1933. The adjective 'kortvågig' can be traced to 1872, compounds like 'kortvågsradio' to the mid 1920s, of which 'kortvåg' is a shorthand. Still in 1929, it was common to write 'korta vågor' (short waves), but 'kortvåg' became common in the 1930s.
