5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)

shell
 n.

    [orig. Multics techspeak, widely propagated via Unix]

    1. [techspeak] The command interpreter used to pass commands to an
    operating system; so called because it is the part of the operating system
    that interfaces with the outside world.

    2. More generally, any interface program that mediates access to a special
    resource or server for convenience, efficiency, or security reasons; for
    this meaning, the usage is usually a shell around whatever. This sort of
    program is also called a wrapper.

    3. A skeleton program, created by hand or by another program (like, say, a
    parser generator), which provides the necessary incantations to set up
    some task and the control flow to drive it (the term driver is sometimes
    used synonymously). The user is meant to fill in whatever code is needed to
    get real work done. This usage is common in the AI and Microsoft Windows
    worlds, and confuses Unix hackers.

    Historical note: Apparently, the original Multics shell (sense 1) was so
    called because it was a shell (sense 3); it ran user programs not by
    starting up separate processes, but by dynamically linking the programs
    into its own code, calling them as subroutines, and then dynamically
    de-linking them on return. The VMS command interpreter still does something
    very like this.

shell

   1.  (Originally from Multics, widely
   propagated via Unix) The command interpreter used to pass
   commands to an operating system; so called because it is the
   part of the operating system that interfaces with the outside
   world.

   The commonest Unix shells are the c shell (csh) and the
   Bourne shell (sh).

   2. (Or "wrapper") Any interface program that mediates access
   to a special resource or server for convenience, efficiency,
   or security reasons; for this meaning, the usage is usually "a
   shell around" whatever.
