Etymology
The term 'troubleshoot' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'trouble' and 'shoot.' It originally referred to the act of shooting game birds that were causing trouble for farmers. Over time, the term evolved to describe the process of identifying and solving problems in mechanical or technical systems. The modern usage of 'troubleshoot' in the context of computer technology became popular in the mid-20th century with the rise of electronics and digital devices.
