{{see|Bug (engineering)#History}}The origin of the term "bug" in engineering contexts dates back to at least the 19th century. Thomas Edison, in an 1878 letter, referred to minor faults in his inventions as "bugs," indicating early usage of the term to describe technical issues.
In computing, a notable anecdote involves computer scientist Grace Hopper. While working on the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947, her team found a moth causing a malfunction by being stuck in a relay. They documented the incident as the "first actual case of a bug being found." Although the term "bug" was already in use, this event popularized its association with computer glitches.
