Etymology
The word 'bug' in relation to computer programming is believed to have originated from a real insect. In the 1940s, the pioneering computer engineer Grace Hopper discovered a moth causing malfunctions in the Mark II computer. She famously taped the moth in her logbook, coining the term 'debugging' for fixing computer problems. This incident popularized the use of 'bug' as a term for software errors. The usage of 'bugged' in terms of surveillance relates to the early 20th century when physical devices were covertly placed by security or intelligence operatives to overhear conversations. The overlapping of these meanings in technology and surveillance has kept 'bugged' in popular vernacular for both contexts.
