cc
word
Definition
In email, 'cc' stands for 'carbon copy.' It means to send a copy of the email to someone besides the main recipient, so they can see the message, but the email is not addressed to them directly.
Usage & Nuances
'CC' is formal and commonly used in business or professional emails. Use 'cc' to keep someone informed, but not as an action-required recipient. Do not confuse with 'bcc' (blind carbon copy), which hides the copied recipient.
