init
Code bootstrap abbreviation
Init is a clipped form of initialize or initial, used in computing and technical contexts.
It names the first process that runs when a Unix-like operating system starts up, and appears as a command or function that sets up initial conditions: The script runs init before loading the main program.
In casual online communication, init can be British slang for "isn't it": Good weather today, init?
