Word origin
The term 'compiler' originated in the early 20th century, derived from the word 'compile' meaning 'to put together'. Initially, compilers were developed to translate mathematical expressions into machine code. Over the years, with the advancement of programming languages, compilers have become essential tools in software development, enabling programmers to write code in high-level languages that can be understood and executed by computers.
