👉 In computer science, a "perifistular" is a component that connects to multiple other components. This can be useful in situations where communication between different devices is required, such as in the case of a network interface card (NIC) or a serial port. The term comes from the Greek word "peri", which means "around," and "fonos" meaning "of." So, perifistular refers to components that are located around other components in a larger system.
