Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in 1956 by Werner Buchholz at IBM during the early design phase for the IBM 7030 Stretch computer. It was devised as a deliberate respelling of the word 'bite' to avoid accidental confusion with 'bit', while also being a portmanteau related to binary terms.
