'interface' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'interfacies,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'facies' meant 'face or surface.'

'interfacies' transformed into the French word 'interface,' and eventually became the modern English word 'interface' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'a surface lying between two different media,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a point of interaction or communication.'
