BAE Full Form – Bae is a slang term of endearment used mainly by young people in urban areas, and the term soon found its way to African-American people through influence. Via social media and hip-hop and R&B lyrics, it came into extensive use around 2013 and 2014.
It usually refers to the romantic partner of an individual , especially a boyfriend or girlfriend, but has also been used as a general term of affection for items, including inanimate objects.
The phrase emerged as an abbreviation for the word “baby” or “bae” The word originated as an acronym for “before someone else” has been proposed, but this is doubtful and this false etymology is possibly an example of a backronym.
