"The Carrying" poet Limón (3)

I believe the answer is:

ada

(Other definitions for ada that I've seen before include "- Lovelace, Byron's daughter & computer pioneer" , "-- Lovelace, pioneer in computing" , "Computer lang.; f. name" , "Programming language" , "Girl's name, one letter short of a man's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
