A glitch is a short-lived fault
in a system. It is often used to describe a transient fault that
corrects itself, and is therefore difficult to troubleshoot. The term is
particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature.
The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery', possibly entering English through the Yiddish term glitsh.
