The etymology of the term sandbox is straightforward. Colloquially, a sandbox is just a box full of sand in which children can play.In computer security, the term sandbox was borrowed to mean a safe place where (often untrusted) programs can play without danger of taking out critical resources. Apache offers sandboxes for projects (e.g. the Lucene Sandbox and Commons Sandbox).
A related concept is Apache's incubator, aimed at providing a trial space for projects aspiring to Apache status.
