DEBUG
What debug means
To find and fix errors or problems in a computer program or system.
Where the word comes from
Debug emerged in the 1940s as computer jargon, combining de- (meaning "remove") with bug, originally a term for mechanical faults in machines. The word gained prominence after computer pioneer Grace Hopper famously found an actual moth trapped in an early computer and used "bug" to describe the problem. The verb form developed naturally to mean "removing errors from software or systems."
