Question

in a' Asus 'chord ,"sus" is abbreviate of which word ?

Answer 1

Suspended. It describes a chord that has the interval of a third (like e in a c-major chord) replaced by either the fourth (typical)or second. This type of chord has an unresolved feeling and often resolves (if it does) to a triad with the same root like csus to cmajor.
