Etymology

The term 'frilled' originates from the mid-19th century, and it derives from the noun 'frill,' which likely comes from the Dutch word 'frillet,' meaning a trinket or something that is frilled. It is used widely in fashion and home decor, reflecting a style that embraces ornate design elements. The word reflects the English tendency to simplify and adapt terms from other languages to suit its evolving style vernacular. The popularity of frilled items surged with various fashion movements, particularly during periods favoring more romantic and detailed aesthetics. Thus, 'frilled' captures not only a descriptive quality but also ties back to cultural influences on design.
