rc
1. <filename extension> (run commands) The filename extension common to
many Unix configuration files, e.g. .newsrc, .cshrc, .twmrc, elmrc, etc.
The suffix "rc" derives from a script-creation utility in CTSS called "runcom"
(for "run commands").

as a traditional Bourne shell, but with a much cleaner syntax.
