console – Wiktionary

English[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

a console (sense 5), decorated with a figure

console (sense 3) on an operator’s ( sense 3 ) on an IBM 1620 computer ( 1964 )

Borrowed from French console (“bracket”, noun), from consoler (“to console, to comfort”, verb).

Sense of “bracket” either due to a bracket alleviating the load, or due to brackets being decorated with the Christian figure of a consolateur (“consoler”),[1] itself perhaps a pun on the first sense (alleviating load).

Originally used for the bracket itself, then for wall-mounted tables ( mounted with a bracket ), then for free-standing tables placed against a wall. Use for control system dates at least to 1880 s for an “ organ console ” ; use for electrical or electronic control systems dates at least to 1930 s in radio, television, and system control, particularly as “ mixer console ” or “ control console ”, attached to an equipment rack. This was popularized in computers by mainframes such as the IBM 704 ( 1954 ) in terms such as “ operator’s console ” or “ console typewriter ”, and then generalized to any attached equipment, particularly for user interaction. The automotive sense harks back to earlier use as “ tư vấn ” .

Usage notes[edit]

• Usually pronounced with stress on the last syllable in line with the convention for borrowings from French, corresponding to the stress placement on the English verb. Pronunciation using the stress of the English noun is rather rare.
• (video game console):
  • Mostly used by avid gamers and former gamers. Non-gamers tend to use the synonym spelcomputer instead and may find console pretentious or incorrect. This distinction in term usage seems to date to the mid/late nineties or early aughties.
  • Typically used for non-portable video game consoles, but may occasionally be applied to handhelds.
