Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'bugge', meaning a scarecrow or hobgoblin, likely related to Welsh 'bwc' (goblin). The meaning shifted in the late 19th century to denote an insect, and later in engineering to describe a defect or glitch, famously popularized by Grace Hopper when a moth was found inside the Harvard Mark II computer.
