Word origin

The term 'debug' originated in the context of early computing systems. In 1947, Grace Hopper, an American computer scientist, found a moth trapped in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer, causing a malfunction. She removed the moth and logged the 'bug' in the system, coining the term 'debugging.' Since then, 'debug' has become a common term in computer programming to refer to the process of identifying and fixing errors in software.
