    It’s written “pseudo”, a prefix in old Greek meaning fake (as in pseudopod). “sudo” is a Linux command to run a command or script as another user.

      Actually, running “pseudo [command]” causes your system to pretend to run the command.

      Also, sudopods are a close relative of sauropoda, who can use their long necks to bypass read restrictions.

        Unfortunately, “sauron [command]” still won’t see the Jia Tan backdoor obscured in the shadows, nor the_ring.yml that you’re piping to /dev/null

      A super user, specifically, hence superuser do.

        Actually, sudo can be used to run a command as any other user. Superuser is merely the default when none is specified.
