byte
n 1: a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of
alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of
information

2. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
byte
/bi:t/, n.
[techspeak] A unit of memory or data equal to the amount used to represent
one character; on modern architectures this is invariably 8 bits. Some
older architectures used byte for quantities of 6, 7, or (especially) 9
bits, and the PDP-10 supported bytes that were actually bitfields of 1 to
36 bits! These usages are now obsolete, killed off by universal adoption of
power-of-2 word sizes.
Historical note: The term was coined by Werner Buchholz in 1956 during the
early design phase for the IBM Stretch computer; originally it was
described as 1 to 6 bits (typical I/O equipment of the period used 6-bit
chunks of information). The move to an 8-bit byte happened in late 1956,
and this size was later adopted and promulgated as a standard by the System
/360. The word was coined by mutating the word ?bite? so it would not be
accidentally misspelled as bit. See also nybble.

byte
bite
/bi:t/ (B) A component in the machine data hierarchy
larger than a bit and usually smaller than a word; now
nearly always eight bits and the smallest addressable unit of
storage. A byte typically holds one character.
A byte may be 9 bits on 36-bit computers. Some older
architectures used "byte" for quantities of 6 or 7 bits, and
the PDP-10 and IBM 7030 supported "bytes" that were actually
bit-fields of 1 to 36 (or 64) bits! These usages are now
obsolete, and even 9-bit bytes have become rare in the general
trend toward power-of-2 word sizes.
The term was coined by Werner Buchholz in 1956 during the
early design phase for the IBM Stretch computer. It was a
mutation of the word "bite" intended to avoid confusion with
"bit". In 1962 he described it as "a group of bits used to
encode a character, or the number of bits transmitted in
parallel to and from input-output units". The move to an
8-bit byte happened in late 1956, and this size was later
adopted and promulgated as a standard by the System/360
operating system (announced April 1964).
James S. Jones adds:
I am sure I read in a mid-1970's brochure by IBM that outlined
the history of computers that BYTE was an acronym that stood
for "Bit asYnchronous Transmission E..?" which related to
width of the bus between the Stretch CPU and its CRT-memory
(prior to Core).
Terry Carr says:
In the early days IBM taught that a series of bits transferred
together (like so many yoked oxen) formed a Binary Yoked
Transfer Element (BYTE).
[True origin? First 8-bit byte architecture?]
