I see numerous references to ESP32-WROOM.
Does "WROOM" have a meaning, or is it just a marketing term for a particular version of the ESP32?

Here is the set of ESP32 parts from Espressif Systems:

\$\begingroup\$ It is an intentional coincidence. Developers tend to first come up with a cool word for a code name, then trying to match some expansion to it. Probably in this case it was quite stupid to be revealed to the public \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 3, 2021 at 23:15
