  Word (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, "word" is a term for the natural unit of data used by a particular computer design.
Some of the earliest computers were decimal rather than binary, typically having a word size of 10 or 12 decimal digits, and some early computers had no fixed word length at all.
Many computer architectures use "general purpose" registers that can hold any of several types of data; those registers are sized to allow the largest of any of those types, and typically that size is the word size of the architecture.

 Course Technology -- InfoWeb: Etymology of the Word Computer
An intensifying prefix heightens or stresses, but does not change the meaning of the word it modifies; for example, in the word inflammable, in is an intensifier, and inflammable means easily inflamed.
However, from the context of the citation, it is obvious that the term was in use prior to 1946.
Eventually, the descriptive adjective in front of computer was dropped as digital computers became more and more common, driving out the other usages of the language.

 Stop Saying ``Computer Literacy''!
The different uses for computers are based on quite diverse models of what the purposes of computer education should be.
