The word "filing" originates from the Old French word "filer," meaning "to spin." This refers to the act of creating threads by drawing fibers through a device called a "file." Early forms of "filing" involved using a file, a tool with a rough surface, to smooth or shape materials. This process was similar to the way a spinner draws fibers to create a thread. Over time, the meaning of "filing" broadened to encompass other forms of organizing and storing information, such as storing documents in cabinets or folders, which were often referred to as "files."
