English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Coined by Richard Stallman in 1983 as a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix”, following convention of naming programs similar to or inspired by existing programs as “(New Name) Is Not (Old Name)”; compare Xinu.
Specifically influenced by lack of English words of form ?nu (“?NU is Not Unix”), that gnu is the alphabetically first (and in fact only) English word of the form ?nu (“?’s Not Unix”), that gnu was perceived as a humorous word, and the existence of the song The Gnu.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]- IPA(key): /ɡəˈn(j)uː/[2], /ˈd͡ʒiːˌɛnˈjuː/
Audio (US): (file) - Rhymes: -uː
- Homophone: gnu (one pronunciation)
Proper noun
[edit]GNU
- The Free Software Foundation's project to develop a free UNIX-like operating system, including the legal framework, such as the source code and documentation licenses.
