From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
plug-in
A file containing data used to alter, enhance, or
extend the operation of a parent application program. One
of the first uses of this term was in Silicon Beach's
SuperPaint application (late 1980s?) for the Macintosh.
It had a Plug-ins folder containing different tools and
effects.
The Netscape Navigator web browser supports
plug-ins which display or interpret a particular file format
or protocol such as Shockwave, RealAudio, {Adobe
Systems, Inc.} PDF, Corel CMX (vector graphics). The
file to be displayed is included in a web page using an
EMBED HTML tag.
Plug-ins, both commercially and indepently authored, can
usually be downloaded for free and are stored locally.
Plug-ins come in different versions specific to particular
operating systems (Microsoft Windows 3.1, 3.2, and
Macintosh are available).
Compare applet.
