CTY


CTY: /sit'ee/ or /C-T-Y/ n. [MIT] The terminal physically
   associated with a computer's system console.  The term is a
   contraction of `Console tty', that is, `Console TeleTYpe'.
   This ITS- and TOPS-10-associated term has become less
   common, as most UNIX hackers simply refer to the CTY as `the
   console'.
