Bug
A 'bug' can refer to several distinct concepts. Primarily, it signifies a small insect, often characterized by a segmented body and six legs. It also denotes a hidden error or defect in a computer program, software, or system that causes it to malfunction or produce unexpected results. Furthermore, 'bug' can colloquially refer to an illness or infection. Finally, in espionage or surveillance contexts, it describes a concealed listening device used to secretly record conversations. The context heavily dictates the intended meaning of the word.
