Etymology

The word 'client' originated from the Latin word 'cliens', which referred to a dependent or follower. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent someone who seeks services or assistance from a professional or organization. In the business world, clients are essential for sustaining a company's operations and growth. The concept of client representation in legal matters dates back to ancient Rome, where advocates would defend the interests of their clients in court. In modern computing, the term 'client' is used to describe a device or program that accesses services from a server over a network.
