Etymology

The term 'windowed' originates from the noun 'window', which comes from the Old Norse word 'vindauga', composed of 'vindr' meaning 'wind' and 'auga' meaning 'eye.' This etymological root highlights the original purpose of a window as an opening for light and air. The use of 'windowed' as an adjective in the context of computing emerged with the introduction of graphical user interfaces in the 1980s, allowing users to interact with multiple programs at once. Over time, this term has expanded to various fields, including architecture and design, reflecting the fundamental principle of using openings for illumination and aesthetic appreciation.
