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'.
