Here is my personal definition.

Front end: Whatever runs on your browser engine, which means, locally. Be it a user interface, or internal computing. It's not necessary for users to see a component on screen to be considered as front end.

Back end: Whatever runs on the server, located elsewhere on the globe that can be connected via a specific network protocol.
