What is the meaning of ord in ord() function in Python?

ord() is used to get the ASCII value of the character we insert.

Like ord("A") => 65

Does anyone know what ord stands for?

Is it ordinal or something else?

From the python docs for ord()

Given a string representing one Unicode character, return an integer representing the Unicode code point of that character... This is the inverse of chr().

So ord() will return the integer that represents a single character that is passed to it.
