Subject: Why is it Called a Package?

Admittedly a "fluff" question...
I notice that a lot of modern languages choose names/syntax that I
personally do not find intuitive. Other languages contain basically the
same feature but call it by different names (module, etc.). Why was
"package" considered the intuitive name for this feature?
