Origin:
The word "enfilade" comes from the Old French verb "enfilier," which means "to thread." The term was originally used in the context of stringing beads or thread through a needle. By the 16th century, it had been adopted into military vocabulary to describe a specific type of artillery tactic.
In the military context, an enfilade is a maneuver in which artillery fire is directed along a line of targets, such as a trench or a row of buildings. The purpose of this maneuver is to maximize the number of targets hit by a single salvo of artillery fire.
The term "enfilade" is also used in architecture and interior design to describe a series of rooms or windows that are arranged so that one can look directly through them from one end to the other. This type of arrangement creates a sense of openness and spaciousness.
