Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Originally derived in the early 19th century from the board placed on horse-drawn carriages to keep riders safe from mud dashed up by the horses' hooves. With the advent of the automobile, the term transferred to the panel facing the driver, and ultimately evolved in computing and business to mean a graphical interface displaying key performance indicators and metrics.
