The title of this page may need to be changed. There is a lot of loose usage of protoboard, proto-board, breadboard.... In any case they all seem to come back in some way to more casual, one off methods of circuit construction. Breadboard, I have heard, originated in the early days of electronics when the wooden kitchen breadboard was re-purposed to be the foundation of a circuti. Cooks beware. Perhaps their highest form was in the Atwater Kent Breadboard Receivers The online Museum of Atwater Kent Breadboard Receivers and Atwater Kent Breadboard Receivers).
