Etymology

The word 'filet' originated from the Old French word 'fillet', which means a little band or ribbon. In English, it was first used in the 15th century to refer to a strip of meat or fish. Over time, the term evolved to also include a narrow headband worn around the head. The verb form of 'filet' emerged later, in the 20th century, to describe the process of cutting meat or fish into boneless pieces.
