-On Unix, the terminal emulator manages a resource called a pty, or "psuedoterminal". Check out "man pty" for the comprehensive details. These psuedoterminals enable communication between a master and slave process (the terminal emulator and the programs running in it, respectively). Two APIs emerged for dealing with ptys on Unix: System V (or "UNIX 98") and BSD. Only the former is recommended for modern applications.

-These Unix flavors came up with psuedoterminals to provide a psuedo- version of the real thing: a terminal. Yes, the terminal emulator, as the name might suggest, is but an emulator of a very real object, in the same sense as a GameBoy emulator is emulating the behavior of a real system that money can buy. Now obsolete, terminals were dedicated devices which provided a screen and connected to a minicomputer, mainframe, or modem, usually via a serial cable, and provided text-based input and output capabilities much like what we see in our terminal emulators today. Your terminal emulator is usually emulating, at a bare minimum, the DEC VT100 terminal, which looked like this:
