Etymology

The term 'faceting' derives from the word 'facet,' which originally comes from the French word 'facette,' meaning 'little face' or 'small surface.' In the context of gemstones, a facet refers to one of the flat surfaces cut on a gem, which enhances its brilliance. The use of 'faceting' in data contexts emerged in the late 20th century with the rise of digital databases and the need for better ways to organize and analyze large volumes of information. It has since evolved to enable users to interact with data in a more meaningful way, particularly within the fields of e-commerce, business intelligence, and web search.
