Why does 'アプリストア’ mean appstore?


I initially expected 'appstore' to be アップストア

I don't see why it's translated as ' **apuri** -store'




The word application in Japanese is 「アプリケーション」. The shortened form (akin to
`app`) is 「アプリ」, rather than just 「アップ」 as one might expect coming from
English.

Therefore the word for `app store` is, as you'd expect, the word for app (アプリ)
+ store (ストア): アプリストア
