Stands for "user". In the olden days, the user home directories lived in
this directory. "bin" was just another user so the files belonging to
"bin" (which meant binary) were in /usr/bin. Now /usr has a different
purpose (in the Linux world, applications installed by the distribution)
but retains the old name. I guess it's "bigger" :) (HTML really is not

Not sure. Maybe "options" installed by the administrator.

"etc" is what it stands for. (short for "et cetera").
