Etymologi

Ordet wildcard stammer fra engelsk og består af to dele: wild og card. Wild betyder vild eller ureguleret, mens card kan referere til et spillekort eller et kort brugt til at aktivere en handling. I sammenhæng med computerteknologi og databehandling refererer wildcard til et særligt tegn eller symbol, såsom et asterisk (*), der kan bruges til at repræsentere eller erstatte andre tegn i en søgning eller et mønstermatch. Det vilde tegn tillader en mere fleksibel og generel søgning eller sammenligning af data.
