It’s recursive for Wine Is Not An Emulator. The program is a translation layer - including translating Windows specific function calls into something Linux can understand (IE: DirectX to Vulcan).
This is distinct from emulation - primarily because it allows programs to utilize native functions of the machine and has much less performance overhead compared to true windows emulation (which is just a VM with extra steps).

OK, interesting. So my question is, what does THAT Wine stand for?
