What is arc and what is its full form ?

Question

I have seen some questions about arc.

Answer 1

An arc is the curved part of a circle. In reference to a TV series, and arc is a storyline that spans several episodes, usually ranging from 3 to 10-ish. For example, in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, examples of story arc include The Box Arc, The Citadel Arc, the Nightsisters Arc, and the Geonosis Arc. In short it's a mini-story that has a beginning and end, but is still part of a larger whole.

Most arcs are way longer than 3-10 episodes -.-;. They cover large parts of various sagas.

@ Wavelength, I was using the Clone Wars analogy. Yes, most series do have much longer arcs.

@Mr. Pasta there is no full name. It's just arc.
