The word "gym" is a shortened form of the word "gymnasium," with the end chopped off.  The word "bus" is a shortened form of "omnibus," with the front chopped off.  What is a common three-letter word that is a shortened form of a longer word in which both the front and end are chopped off?  Hint:  the longer word has nine letters?
