Etymology
The term 'buggy' has its roots in early computer programming, where it described errors or glitches in software. The origin of the word 'bug' in this context can be traced back to the 1940s when computer scientist Grace Hopper discovered a moth causing malfunctions in a Mark II computer. She famously recorded the incident in her logbook, coining the phrase 'first actual case of bug being found'. Over the years, 'bug' evolved into various forms, such as 'buggy', which refers to systems or software that are problematic. The comparative form 'buggier' emerged as a way to compare the level of bugs or issues found in different software versions or products.
