https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange-traded_fund
“An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that is also an exchange-traded product, i.e., it is traded on stock exchanges.[1][2][3] ETFs own financial assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, debts, futures contracts, and/or commodities such as gold bars. Many ETFs provide some level of diversification compared to owning an individual stock.”

Exchange Traded Fund. Basically an attempt to financially model something that doesn’t trade on a exchange (e.g. inflation rate, strength of the dollar) by a basket of things that do.
