From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
X server
A process, in an {X Window
System} which controls a bitmap display device and usually
also a keyboard and mouse or other pointing device. The
X server performs operations on request from client
applications, which may be on the same computer or a
different computer connected via a network.
Note that typical client-server architectures do
input-output on the client and processing on the server
whereas in X the terms are reversed as the X server is serving
IO rather than processing resources to the application.
If the two computers are not both Unix machines (e.g. one is
a Windows machine running VNC) or if a more secure
connection is required (e.g. tunneling with ssh), the
clients may talk to a proxy X server that forwards the
requests to another machine where the real IO takes place.
