The term "toggle switch" refers to a type of mechanical switch commonly used to turn on and off various electronic devices. The origin of this word can be traced back to the early 19th century, when the term "toggle" was used to describe a sliding hook used to attach a horse's bridle to its headstall. The term "toggle" was chosen for the switch due to the presence of a small, moveable piece that looks like a sliding hook or toggle, which is used to operate the switch. The term "switch" is commonly used to describe any device used to control the flow of electricity, and increasing frequency, it has become a generic term used to describe any electrical circuit interrupter. So, the word "toggle switch" is simply a name given to a type of switch due to its toggle-shaped mechanism for switching on and off an electrical or mechanical circuit.
