relying on interfaces
Etymology
'interface-based' originates from the combination of 'interface' and the suffix '-based', where 'interface' refers to a point of interaction between components, and '-based' indicates reliance or foundation on something.
The term 'interface' evolved from the Latin 'inter-' meaning 'between' and 'facies' meaning 'face or surface', while '-based' is derived from the Old English 'bæse', meaning 'foundation'.
Initially, 'interface' referred to a physical boundary, but in modern usage, it has expanded to include digital and abstract boundaries, especially in computing.
