Actual behavior
Having problem to understand why leapp was named for this tool.
Sort of understand "app" characters but I can't figure out "le" characters.

Additional context
It will be great if there is an entry for "leapp" at https://leapp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/terminology.html.

Leapp is actually not an abbreviation, but a name originating in the history of this project. Originally it was meant to be a POC (Proof Of Concept) that had kind of the code name Le App, and was a short name for legacy application, which was internally at RedHat written LEAPP and we just stuck with the name.

There's not much to expand, as it wouldn't make sense to expand on a name.
