Trying to remember the first time I encountered Unit Of Work...

... and actually, I hugely misunderstood it because of how it was named. I remember thinking, how can that be a unit of work when many "units" of work (i.e. multiple database statements/tasks) was attached to it. I always thought of "unit" as a singular or individual thing, but obviously, a unit can be a collection also.

I'm half-convinced that there should be a better term to replace Unit Of Work, but I can't think of one.
