Word origin
The word 'facet' originated from the French word 'facette', a diminutive of 'face', ultimately from Latin 'facies' meaning 'form, appearance'. In English, 'facet' first appeared in the 17th century, initially used in gemology to describe the flat faces of a cut gem. Over time, its usage expanded to describe various aspects or parts of something with multiple sides or aspects.
