Etymology

The term 'countertop' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'counter' (a flat surface) and 'top' (the upper surface of something). Countertops have been essential in kitchens and bathrooms for food preparation and sink installation, evolving from simple wooden surfaces to a variety of materials like granite, marble, and quartz over time.
