The adjective is directly derived from the prepositional phrase 'at home' and its meaning is easily inferred by learners familiar with that phrase. [Postprocessing: moved 'at' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word at-home is made of at- and home, which together mean 'at home' or 'in the house'. So an at-home product or service is meant to be used in your home rather than in a clinic, office, or other professional place.
