Meaning of 縮約系 (しゅくやくけい)

Studying to reach N3 saw this term in one of the videos i was watching, it's kinda always on the board so im guessing its a keyword yet i have not found meaning on jisho. I've had bad experiences with other sites who dont give good translation and feel like jisho is the only one that is good.

Are you sure it wasn't 縮約形? Basically that means contraction. 形 is a suffix, so to find the meaning on Jisho you'd need to look up 縮約 and 形 separately.

In Japanese contractions are like

〜てしまった becomes 〜ちゃった
〜ている becomes 〜てる
なければならない becomes なきゃ
