EXPLANATION

In computing, a nibble (often nybble or nyble to match the vowels of byte) is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade. In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet, quadbit, or quartet.
When thinking in the food realm you have a bite (of food) if you are just eating a little bit of food you have a nibble.
