Etymology

The term 'tabbed' originates from the word 'tab', which itself comes from the late Middle English word 'tabbe', meaning 'a flap or a strip of material'. This term was used to describe fasteners or labels used to organize things more effectively. The concept of 'tabs' evolved with the rise of computing in the late 20th century, where it began to refer to the small, label-like elements in user interfaces that allow users to navigate easily between different sections. The use of tabbed designs in software became especially popular with web browsers, where it allowed users to handle multiple pages and tasks efficiently, significantly changing how applications manage information. As digital interfaces matured, the adoption of tabbed interfaces expanded into various applications, leading to widespread recognition in both desktop and mobile environments.
