According to https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#ecm:

    This is a French acronym used by some mailing list members; it stands
    for "Exemple Complet Minimal", or "Complete Minimal   Example". The
    term refers to test files that can reliably reproduce a bug with the
    minimal amount of code. When you report a bug to the mailing list, you
    should provide a minimal .org file (with no more text than necessary)
    that demonstrates the bug. See this post for more information.

I learned the term from working on Org, and since Org is part of
Emacs, I assumed it was generally familiar to Emacs maintainers as
well.  My mistake.  :)
