From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  CTSS /C-T-S-S/ n. Compatible Time-Sharing System. An early (1963)
     experiment in the design of interactive time-sharing operating systems,
     ancestral to {{Multics}}, {{Unix}}, and {{ITS}}. The name {{ITS}}
     (Incompatible Time-sharing System) was a hack on CTSS, meant both as a
     joke and to express some basic differences in philosophy about the way
     I/O services should be presented to user programs.
