Art/Literary - Linguistics

English term or phrase: acephalous

"Most generally, however, the stem, or indeclinable part, of the word is truncated and one or more of the first
letters of the word ending arc also dropped, often leaving only the final letter.Word endings thus shortened are said to be headless or acephalous, in distinction to truncated endings."

Taken from an article about medieval abbreviation system.
