DefinitionA window (ウィンドウ) is a framed area on a GUI screen that displays the contents of an application or document.
ExplanationA GUI (graphical user interface) is a style of screen where, instead of typing text commands, you operate with a mouse or finger while looking at pictures and frames. Several windows can be opened on one screen, side by side or overlapping, and each can be moved, resized, minimized, or closed.
AnalogyPicture spreading the papers for each task in separate trays on a desk; each tray corresponds to a window.
Memory hook"Window" literally means an opening in a wall. Think of peering at the contents through a window opened on the screen.
