Etymology

The term 'dashboard' originated from the horse-drawn carriage era, where a board or leather apron protected the driver from mud or debris 'dashed' up by the horse's hooves. In the early 20th century, the term was adopted in the automotive industry to refer to the panel beneath the windshield where gauges and controls were located. The transition to digital dashboards occurred with the rise of computers and technology in the late 20th century, leading to the modern concept of a graphical user interface displaying key information.

See also: board, boarder, boarding, sideboard.
