Who invented the term debugging?

The term "bug" in the meaning of technical error dates back at least to 1878 and Thomas Edison, and "debugging" seems to have been used as a term in aeronautics from 1945, in the context of repairing aircraft engines.It was not applied to computers until September 9, 1947 when a moth was found smashed in a relay of the Harvard Mark III electromechanical computer. Obviously this was (like all previous usage of the terms) a hardware problem, not a software problem (as the terms are now used).
