Phrase initial
Text In this podcast, the verb "to initial" means to write the first letters of one's first, middle, and last name, usually to show that one agrees with something: "The bank employee initialed the check before giving the customer his money." One's "initials" are the first letters of one's first, middle, and last name when they are written together: "Wally Hou wrote his initials, W.H., on all his books so that he could find them if they got lost." The word "initial" also means first, or earliest: "His initial reaction was anger, but then he calmed down." The adverb, "initially," means at first, or in the beginning: "Initially, this company had just one office, but now it has offices in almost every state."
