From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (12 Sep 2002) [foldoc]:
rc
1. <filename extension> (run commands) The {filename
extension} common to many {Unix} configuration files, e.g.
{.newsrc}, {.cshrc}, {.twmrc}, elmrc, etc.
The suffix "rc" derives from a script-creation utility in
{CTSS} called "{runcom}" (for "run commands").
