Anyone else uninstall ncurses and realise how important of a package it is...

For what does bash use ncurses‽
I think it's a dependency of readline.

Same in Turkish; I think it may be Greek in origin. I used to think that it's baby-talk, like many other primordial words like 'mamma', 'baba', etc; but it doesn't seem to be universal like those.
