1969DWIM (BBN-LISP): it types the fix it is about to make and pauses, and you can abort that one correction. Warren Teitelman, BBN.
See also: Interlisp DWIM, cautious mode: 'Type N; DWIM types O, and does not make the correction.' (DECUS Interlisp manual ch. 17, p. 17.5; the manual's sample session is dated 11-17-73).
“DWIM types what it is about to do, pauses for about a second, and if the user does not respond, goes ahead and does it ... The user must be able to interrupt and/or abort any attempted correction.”
The iPhone's autocorrect bubble has the same shape as DWIM's pause: the guess goes through unless you stop it this once.

On the guess: its twin
The two series line up in pairs. Each act on a guess sits above the act that does the same thing to an errand, so Override and Take Over are one move made on two kinds of thing.
Bodies
The act stays put while the hardware changes. These are some of the forms Override takes.
