Word origin
The term 'substring' originated in the field of computer science and programming, specifically in the context of text processing and manipulation. It is a combination of the prefix 'sub-' meaning 'under' or 'below' and 'string', referring to a sequence of characters. The concept of substrings is fundamental in programming languages for tasks such as data extraction, parsing, and pattern matching.
