Noun: A DORD is an acronym used in a creative writing context, which stands for "Department of Redundancy Department". It is a shorthand way of referencing areas in a draft that may need cleaning or tightening up in a future edit, but for now it is fine to leave the sentence as is and go back to edit later.
