Anthony Bourdain... recently started watching his show from time to time. Really a bummer that he's gone.

Not, it's not. systemd just stands for system daemon.

That’s what I think too, but FWIW, geocrasher is quoting the “see also” section of the article. It doesn’t have a citation and I can’t find any other references to it, though.

There is a "Système D" DIY magazine here in France, since 1924. I don't know if it is predated by the term or originated it. I remember that there is a big pile of old issues in my grandfather attic.

They're not wrong though, systemd has a whole boatload of related and ancillary tools beyond just its pid 1 process daemon. Stuff like journalctl, systemctl, machinectl, etc.
