'cybercafé' originates from the combination of 'cyber,' relating to computers or the internet, and 'café,' a place where people can buy drinks and light meals.

'cybercafé' was coined in the 1990s as the internet became more accessible to the public, combining the concept of a traditional café with internet services.

Initially, it referred to any café offering internet access, but now it often implies a place with a focus on internet services.
