for example PhD it’s Doctor of Philosophy, but the Latin abbreviation is always used (PhilosopHiae Doctor).

What’s the cause behind this? Did it just remain from the past and they never changed it or so?

I’ve figured out L=Latin, ME=Middle English, F=French, but what about LL and ML? Is there a guide somewhere that tells all of them?

And e.g. from what phrase is that?
What about Q.E.D.?

The abbreviation “i.e.” stands for the Latin “id est,” meaning “that is” or “that is to say.” It indicates that an explanation or paraphrase is about to follow: “Many workers expect to put in a forty-hour week — i.e., to work eight hours a day.”
The abbreviation “e.g.,” on the other hand, is short for the Latin exempli gratia, “for the sake of example,” or “for example.” A list of examples may be preceded by e.g.: “She loved exotic fruit, e.g., mangoes, passion fruit, and papayas.”
You use “e.g.” when you want to name a bunch of examples that will follow. (Like “He can do many things, e.g., play violin, shoot pool, write good short stories.”) Use “i.e.” when you have one particular thing in mind, and you’re actually trying to paraphrase the preceding sentence in a different, more specific way. (Like “He was a doctor, i.e., a veterinarian.”)
I hope that helps!
