Word origin

The word 'filial' originated from the Latin word 'filialis', which means 'of a son or daughter'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. Initially, it was used primarily in the context of family relationships, referring to the obligations or characteristics associated with being a son or daughter. Over time, the term expanded its use to also describe branches of businesses or organizations, likely due to the concept of the branch being an extension of the main entity, similar to how children are extensions of their parents.
