glitch
glitch G0151200 (glĭch)n.1. A minor malfunction, mishap, or technical problem; a snag: a computer glitch; a navigational glitch; a glitch in the negotiations.2. A false or spurious electronic signal caused by a brief, unwanted surge of electric power.3. Astronomy A sudden change in the period of rotation of a neutron star.
[Probably from Yiddish glitsh, a slip, lapse, from glitshn, to slip, from Middle High German glitschen, alteration of glīten, to glide, from Old High German glītan; see ghel- in Indo-European roots.]
glitch′y adj.Word History: One of the two earliest known appearances of the word glitch is found in John Glenn's contribution to the book Into Orbit (1962), an account of Project Mercury (the United States' first human spaceflight program) by the seven astronauts who participated: "Another term we adopted to describe some of our problems was 'glitch.'" Glenn then gives the technical sense of the word the astronauts had adopted: "Literally, a glitch is a spike or change in voltage in an electrical current." The word may have already been in use by engineers and other specialists for some time, though. Later in the book, it is explained again and is simply said to be a slang word for a "hitch." Since the appearance of the term in the context of electronics, glitch has passed beyond technical use and now covers a wide variety of malfunctions and mishaps.glitch (ɡlɪtʃ) n1. (Electronics) a sudden instance of malfunctioning or irregularity in an electronic system2. (Astronomy) a change in the rotation rate of a pulsar[C20: of unknown origin]glitch (glɪtʃ)
n. 1. Informal. a defect, error, or malfunction, as in a machine or plan. 2. a brief or sudden interruption or surge in electric power. [1960–65; perhaps < Yiddish glitsh a slip; compare Yiddish glitshn, German glitschen to slip, slide] Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | glitch - a fault or defect in a computer program, system, or machinebugflaw, fault, defect - an imperfection in an object or machine; "a flaw caused the crystal to shatter"; "if there are any defects you should send it back to the manufacturer" |

Astronomy a change in the rotation rate of a pulsar glitch See pulsar; neutron star.glitch[glich] (astronomy) A sudden change in the period of a pulsar, believed to result from a phenomenon analogous to an earthquake that changes the pulsar's moment of inertia. (electronics) An undesired transient voltage spike occurring on a signal being processed. A minor technical problem arising in electronic equipment. glitch/glich/ [German "glitschen" to slip, via Yiddish "glitshen",to slide or skid] 1. (Electronics) When the inputs of acircuit change, and the outputs change to some random valuefor some very brief time before they settle down to thecorrect value. If another circuit inspects the output at justthe wrong time, reading the random value, the results can bevery wrong and very hard to debug (a glitch is one of manycauses of electronic heisenbugs).
2. A sudden interruption in electric service, sanity,continuity, or program function. Sometimes recoverable. Aninterruption in electric service is specifically called a"power glitch" (or power hit), of grave concern because itusually crashes all the computers. See also gritch.
2. [Stanford] To scroll a display screen, especially severallines at a time. WAITS terminals used to do this in orderto avoid continuous scrolling, which is distracting to theeye.
4. Obsolete. Same as magic cookie.glitchA temporary or random hardware malfunction. It is possible that a bug in a program may cause the hardware to appear as if it had a glitch in it and vice versa. At times it can be extremely difficult to determine whether a problem lies within the hardware or the software. See glitch attack.MedicalSeebugFinancialSeeBugGLITCH
