actually, it's global regular expression print from the ed command for 
the same:

#ed
p
prints current line
/regex/p
prints first line that matches /regex/
g/regex/p
prints all lines that match /regex/

grep was written because the g/re/p functionality of ed was so useful 
that it was needed as a separate app.
