Etymology

The word 'bug' has a fascinating history, with its origins dating back to the 1620s when it was used to describe any small insect. In the 1940s, the term gained popularity in the field of technology when computer pioneer Grace Hopper found an actual bug (a moth) causing a malfunction in a computer. Since then, 'bug' has been widely used to describe defects or faults in computer programs and systems.
