Under the Hood

Definitions

1. Referring to the internal mechanisms of a system rather than its visible interface or marketing description. Engineers use it when digging into what is actually happening beneath the abstraction.

   In plain English: Inside the system where the hidden mechanics actually work.

   Example: "The framework looks simple until you see what it's doing under the hood."
