It came from Grace Murray Hopper's report of finding an actual bug--a moth--inside a computer and removing it.
Ms. Hopper may have indeed been the first person to "debug" a computer, however, she did not coin the phrase "debugging". Radio repairmen for a couple of decades before WWII were "debugging" radios. The term is mentioned in at least two different articles in the "Radio News" magazine from the late 1930's. The articles referred de-bugging as having to clean out bug carcasses before any repairs or even a diagnosis could be attempted...

What phrase Grace Hopper coined?
There is a google article about her 107th birthday (Dec. 9, 2013) where it describes the "bug" that she found while they were testing the computer (Mark I Electromechanical Computing Machine). The anecdotal story is that the moth they found was a bug and that they debugged the machine.
What is the term for starting a computer?
Its also termed as booting a computer
Why is grace hopper famous?
Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 - January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Naval officer. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and she developed the first compiler for a computer programming language. She is also credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches (motivated by an actual moth removed from the computer).
What is de bugging?
Debugging is the often tedious process of locating and fixing the causes of incorrect behavior in a computer program. Although often tedious it can be quite exciting and fun when the problems are all fixed and the program does what it was supposed to do.

What is needed when programming a computer?
A flow chart, debugging, computer language, and Hopper.
What is circuit debugging?
Circuit debugging is a type of software program that tries to fix problems within the computer. For example, if a printer is not working properly that is attached to the computer, the debugging program can try to find out what the problem is. It may or may not automatically fix a problem.

Who made the word debugging?
There is some controversy over the origin of the term "debugging." The terms "bug" and "debugging" are both popularly attributed to Admiral Grace Hopper in the 1940s[1]. While she was working on a Mark II Computer at Harvard University, her associates discovered a moth stuck in a relay and thereby impeding operation, whereupon she remarked that they were "debugging" the system. However the term "bug" in the meaning of technical error dates back at least to 1878 and Thomas Edison (see the Software bug article for a full discussion), and "debugging" seems to have been used as a term in aeronautics before entering the world of computers. Indeed, in an interview Grace Hopper remarked that she was not coining the term. The moth fit the already existing terminology, so she saved it. The Oxford English Dictionary entry for "debug" quotes the term "debugging" used in reference to airplane engine testing in a 1945 article in the Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Hopper's bug was found 9 September 1947. The term was not adopted by computer programmers until the early 1950s. The seminal article by Gill [2] in 1951 is the earliest in-depth discussion of programming errors, but it does not use the term "bug" or "debugging". In the ACM's digital library, the term "debugging" is first used in three papers from 1952 ACM National Meetings.[3][4][5] Two of the three use the term in quotation marks. By 1963, "debugging" was a common enough term to be mentioned in passing without explanation on page 1 of the CTSS manual.[6] Kidwell's article Stalking the Elusive Computer Bug[7] discusses the etymology of "bug" and "debug" in greater detail
