== Origin == {{Unreferenced section|date=December 2020}} The term ''tooltip'' originally came from older Microsoft applications (e.g. [[Microsoft Word|Microsoft Word 95]]). These applications would have [[toolbar]]s wherein, when moving the mouse over the Toolbar icons, displayed a short description of the function of the tool in the toolbar. More recently, these tooltips are used in various parts of an interface, not only on toolbars.The concept of tooltips as contextual help elements in user interfaces emerged with early graphical user interfaces to enhance usability.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tooltip y Popover: Cómo y cuándo usarlos |url=https://www.uxables.com/diseno-ux-ui/tooltip-y-popover-como-y-cuando-usarlos/ |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=UXABLES |language=es}}</ref>
