Etymology

origin and the way in which meanings have changed throughout history.

In the early days of computing, humans used 'computing tables' or 'computing machines' to perform complex calculations manually. As electronic computers became more common, the term 'computer' came to refer specifically to an electronic device that could perform calculations automatically.
