As the title says. I ask because understanding what the abbreviation stands for helps me remember it and I'm really struggling with this parameter.
If the answer is unintuitive, can you also explain how you rationalize it?

With this method, you first need to specify the number of rows and columns of plots you would like and then run the code for each plot. For example, to plot two graphs side by side we would use par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) to split the device into 1 row and two columns.
The par() function is used to set or query graphical parameters. We can divide the frame into the desired grid, add a margin to the plot or change the background color of the frame by using the par() function. We can use the par() function in R to create multiple plots at once.
This syntax sets up a plotting environment of A rows and B columns. First we create four vectors, all of the same length. Now we plot six graphs on the same plotting environment. We use the plot() command six times in succession, each time graphing one of the Y vectors against the X vector.
We can put multiple graphs in a single plot by setting some graphical parameters with the help of par() function. R programming has a lot of graphical parameters which control the way our graphs are displayed. The par() function helps us in setting or inquiring about these parameters.
Paul Murrell has listed some helpful mnemonics; the interpretation might be
mfrow: number of Multiple Figures (use ROW-wise).
