    in the early 90's html1 was 'responsive', ie text adapts to browser width automatically. great part of the web was coded with % width.

    late 90's css1 and css2 were specified, but the browsers didn't implement all of it or did it in different ways, so it couldn't be used.

    what happened in the 2010+ was that suddenly the browsers started to function as they should (corresponding to the w3 specifications), and therefore the use of different html/css/js techniques to adapt content to the browser width got summarized into the term 'responsive'.
