Bug

Bug - Small insect. Also a problem in software. The part of code that makes the program behave in an unwanted manner. The sooner a bug is detected in the Software Lifecycle, lesser would be the cost involved in fixing it. The term bug came from the fact that a moth flew into an early computer that ran on vacuum tubes.
