Word origin
The word 'pod' has its origins in the late 17th century, derived from the earlier term 'cod', meaning a husk or shell. Over time, 'pod' evolved to refer to a small group of marine animals swimming together, as well as a self-contained unit within a computer or electronics system. The verb form 'pod' in the context of technology emerged with the rise of containerization and deployment practices in software development.
