The word "front" traces back to Latin frons (genitive frontis), which originally referred to the forehead or brow—the most forward-facing part of the head. Over time, it expanded metaphorically to denote any foremost part of an object, space, or military formation. The semantic shift reflects the human tendency to associate visibility and prominence with the concept of "front."
