Why's it called PnP ?

[spamjoes]

l'm trying to find an answer for management why we're using a tool called PnPCore. I think PnP brings memories of Plug-n-Play, which has been fraught with security issues over its existence. What's the PnP acronym mean in this instance and how exactly does it relate to Sharepoint / Teams / MS 365? Thanks, any insight is appreciated... I can't seem to find an answer to this one. Plus, I'm also now curious about it myself.
