Etymology
The word "filly" comes from the Middle English word "fily", which in turn is derived from the Old English word "filig". This word is thought to be related to the Proto-Germanic word fili, meaning "to give birth to a foal".
Meaning
A filly is a young female horse that has not yet reached the age of three. Fillies are typically lighter and smaller than colts, and they have a more delicate appearance.
Origin
The word "filly" has been in use in the English language since the 13th century. It is thought to have originated in the northern part of England, where it was used to refer to a young female foal. Over time, the word spread to other parts of England and eventually to other English-speaking countries.
