In plain English: Interfaces are the points where two different systems connect and talk to each other.
"The new software has several user-friendly interfaces that make it easy to navigate."
Usage: Use "interfaces" to refer to multiple distinct points of contact or communication between two systems, people, or devices. Do not use it as a verb in this context; instead, conjugate the verb "to interface."
Derived from Latin interfacies, combining inter (between) and facies (face or appearance), it originally meant the surface where two things meet. The term was adopted into English in computing to describe the boundary through which different software components communicate.
