From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:



  CTY
       
          /sit'ee/ or /C-T-Y/ [MIT] The terminal physically associated
          with a computer's system {console}.  The term is a contraction
          of "Console {tty}", that is, "Console TeleTYpe".  This {ITS}-
          and {TOPS-10}-associated term has become less common, as most
          Unix hackers simply refer to the CTY as "the console".
