The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
terpri /ter'pree/ TERminate PRInt line. [LISP 1.5 and later, MacLISP] To output a newline. Still used in Common LISP. On some early operating systems and hardware, no characters would be printed until a complete line was formed, so this operation terminated the line and emitted the output. [Jargon File] (1996-06-24)
