What is the purpose of fetch?

Could you please elaborate on the question, "What is the purpose of fetch?"? I'm curious to understand the specific context you're referring to. Is "fetch" related to a programming concept, a network request, or perhaps a more general term? If it's related to web development, is it about the Fetch API used for making network requests in JavaScript? Or maybe you're referring to some other aspect of technology or a different domain entirely? Providing more details would help me formulate a more precise and informative response. Thank you for clarifying!
