How to say "cad" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- ＣＡＤキャドnounThe acronym CAD, short for computer-aided design: software for technical drawing and design work, read キャド. It corresponds only to the capitalized abbreviation, never to 'cad' meaning a dishonorable man.
- コンピューター援用設計コンピューターえんようせっけいnounComputer-aided design spelled out as a full Japanese phrase rather than the acronym CAD — the same field, unabbreviated. It never means 'cad' in the sense of an unscrupulous man.
- 冠動脈疾患かんどうみゃくしっかんnounA medical term for coronary artery disease, the heart condition also abbreviated CAD in English; expect it in cardiology contexts such as diagnosis and treatment. It is unrelated to 'cad' meaning a scoundrel.
Two of these mean computer-aided design and one means coronary artery disease; all three translate only the acronym CAD, never 'cad' in the sense of an unscrupulous man.
