Hi Randall,

I will add my understanding that the term was "invented" by
Raymond Calvel.

An added hassle is that the Calvel term sounds like an
unrelated scientific term , "Autolysis", which occurs when
cells (in our case yeasts and LB) start to burst and die
off. If you sniff around you will see that the two terms
sometimes get confused.

All the best,
