So, /usr really means "user", and the "Unix System Resources" acronym was put together afterwards. Interesting, thank you !

I don't think I have ever heard that acronym before. I don't think it is common usage.

I've heard "user shared resources" which is similar. I'm glad "usr" meant "user", though, I can go back to naming my home directories on Windows "usr" instead of "home" :)
