Why is it called bootstrap?..

Answer / Purushotam Sati

The term 'bootstrapping' comes from the expression 'pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps'. It suggests a self-starting process, as if a system could pull itself up without external help. In the context of computer science and economics, it refers to the act of building or growing something from its initial state using only internal resources.
