isn’t it just ‘present working directory’?
No. “Print working directory” is the command to print (display) the “cwd” (current working directory).
I find it weird when you get “pwd” as a variable
Kinda yeah, but I think that just comes from storing the output of the PWD command.
The system call that returns that value is called getcwd().
It’s ‘print current directory’ in the source code:

This is what it is at least in my head
In my head too. We can share though.
You “print” to standard output, which is the terminal.
Welp, I always thought path-to-working-directory like to get the full path
It absolutely can be either and is not so clear cut as responders are claiming.
Weather its ‘print working directory’ or ‘present working directory’ depends on the source you ask, and ultimately they have the same meaning so it really doesn’t matter which you use.
Whenever pwd is used as a variable, ‘present’ is more logical than ‘print’.
