From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   fetch-execute cycle
  
      The sequence of actions that a
      {central processing unit} performs to execute each {machine
      code} instruction in a program.
  
      At the beginning of each cycle the CPU presents the value of
      the {program counter} on the {address bus}.   The CPU then
      fetches the instruction from {main memory} (possibly via a
      {cache} and/or a {pipeline}) via the {data bus} into the
      {instruction register}.
  
      From the instruction register, the data forming the
      instruction is decoded and passed to the {control unit} which
      sends a sequence of control signals to the relevant {function
      units} of the CPU to perform the actions required by the
      instruction such as reading values from {registers}, passing
      them to the {ALU} to add them together and writing the result
      back to a register.
  
      The program counter is then incremented to address the next
      instruction and the cycle is repeated.
  
      The fetch-execute cycle was first proposed by {John von
      Neumann}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Fitches
      (Isa. 28:25, 27), the rendering of the Hebrew _ketsah_, "without
      doubt the Nigella sativa, a small annual of the order
      Ranunculacece, which grows wild in the Mediterranean countries,
      and is cultivated in Egypt and Syria for its seed." It is
      rendered in margin of the Revised Version "black cummin." The
      seeds are used as a condiment.
     
         In Ezek. 4:9 this word is the rendering of the Hebrew
      _kussemeth_ (incorrectly rendered "rye" in the Authorized
      Version of Ex. 9:32 and Isa. 28:25, but "spelt" in the Revised
      Version). The reading "fitches" here is an error; it should be
      "spelt."
