cut and paste & copy and paste
Because “cut and paste” is a familiar phrase,
many people say it when they mean “copy and paste”
in a computer context.
This can lead to disastrous results
if followed literally by an inexpert person.
If you mean to tell someone
to duplicate something
rather than move it,
say "copy.”
And when you are
moving bits of computer information from one place to another
the safest sequence is often
to copy the original, paste the copy elsewhere,
and only then delete (cut) the original.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
paste
Did you know?
We're not talking about adhesives here:
the paste of interest here came to be as an alteration of the word baste, which means "to beat severely or soundly."
(This baste is unrelated to the two distinct baste homographs
that mean "to sew with long stitches" and "to moisten while cooking.")
The exact origin of baste is uncertain,
but it probably comes from the Old Norse word beysta,
meaning "to bruise, thrash, or flog."
Baste was first seen in the 16th century,
but paste didn't turn up in print until the mid-19th century,
and it only recently acquired its "defeat" sense.
Baste is now less popular than paste,
though its relative lambaste ("to beat" or "to censure") is prevalent.
