Why is the acronym M&A for Mergers and Acquisitions? Why it is not instead A&M (Acquisitions and Mergers) following an alphabetical order? Is it because there are more mergers than acquisitions?
Sorry for this stupid question, but I could not find the answer on Google.
Thank you very much in advance.

The order of words is due to correct syntax; more specifically the stylistically correct use of English. The stylistically correct sequence of any numbered list, when you are listing two or more things in written form, follows a least-syllable to most-syllable order.
