title: Why let word added to servlet,applet,cmdlet?
body: <p>Myself a history buff.I love to find out nuances behind naming.As a java developer we have come across <strong><em>servlet(Server side java component),applet(client side java component with gui),portlet(similar to servlet in portal environment)</em></strong>.Now in Powershell also they have <strong>cmdlet</strong> or <strong>commandlet</strong>.My question is about why these are suffixed with <strong>let</strong> and what is the generic semantic meaning of this <strong>let</strong>?</p>
