Civics is a branch of social studies that focuses on the rights and duties of citizens in a society. The term can be broken down into three parts: Honda (6 letters), Lanes (5 letters), and Poly (4 letters). Honda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer, Lanes refers to the lanes of a road, and Poly is short for polytechnic, which is an institution of higher education that specializes in science and technology. Together, these three terms form the word civics, which is the study of the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a society.
