engine (foldoc) | engine
 
     1. A piece of hardware that encapsulates some
    function but can't be used without some kind of front end.
    Today we have, especially, "print engine": the guts of a
    laser printer.
 
    2. An analogous piece of software; notionally, one that does a
    lot of noisy crunching, such as a "database engine", or
    "search engine".
 
    The hackish senses of "engine" are actually close to its
    original, pre-Industrial-Revolution sense of a skill, clever
    device, or instrument (the word is cognate to "ingenuity").
    This sense had not been completely eclipsed by the modern
    connotation of power-transducing machinery in {Charles
    Babbage}'s time, which explains why he named the
    stored-program computer that he designed in 1844 the
    "Analytical Engine".
