Client

A client is a system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by
some kind of network. The term originated from devices that were not capable
of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote
computers via some network. These dumb terminals were clients of the
time-sharing mainframe computer. The client-server is still used today on
the Internet, where a user may connect to a service operating on a remote system.

In ancient Rome, a client was someone, usually a freed slave, who was
attached to a rich patron benefactor; this was necessary for many who were
not legally able to secure citizenship, a right initially reserved for the
patrician class.

In traditional commerce and in the marketing and provision of services, a
client or customer consumes or benefits from a product or service.
