Etymology

Over time, the term evolved to also mean a piece of meat or fish without bones. In woodworking, it refers to a decorative molding strip. The verb form 'fillet' in cooking came into use later, describing the process of cutting meat or fish into fillets. Today, 'fillet' is commonly used in both culinary and woodworking contexts.
