The ‘rc’ suffix goes back to Unix's grandparent, CTSS.
It had a command-script feature called "runcom". Early
Unixes used ‘rc’ for the name of the operating system's
boot script, as a tribute to CTSS runcom.
维基百科选择“运行命令”作为默认的长格式，但承认上下文应该决定单词的选择。
While not historically precise, rc may also be pronou-
nced as "run control", because an rc file controls how
a program runs. For instance, the editor Vim looks for
and reads the contents of the .vimrc file to determine
its initial configuration. The most sensible pronunci-
ation depends on the function of the file: to start
something up, or to control how something starts up.
我听说
就个人而言，我会选择运行控制，因为 ESR 是这么说的。
