Etymology
'interface-driven' originates from the combination of 'interface' and 'driven', where 'interface' refers to a point of interaction between components, and 'driven' implies being controlled or operated by.
'interface' evolved from the Latin word 'interfacies', meaning 'between faces', and 'driven' comes from the Old English 'drifan', meaning 'to drive'.
Initially, 'interface' referred to a physical boundary, but it evolved to include digital interactions, while 'driven' maintained its meaning of being controlled or operated by.
