Word origin
The word 'chunk' originated in the late 17th century from the Middle English word 'chonke', meaning a thick piece, especially of bread. Over time, it evolved to refer to a compact mass or piece of something. In modern usage, 'chunk' has found its way into computing terminology to describe grouped information or data for processing.
