The word "felt" has an interesting etymology. It originated from the Old English word "felt" or "feilt", which meant a cloth made by tangling and compressing fibers together. This Old English term itself evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "feltaz". The word "feltaz" is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*pel-, *pil-", which meant to beat or to strike. This root has also given rise to other related words like "fell" (a type of animal skin with the hair or wool still attached) and "filter" (a device through which a substance is passed to remove impurities). The word "felt" has been used to describe the fabric that results from matting together fibers, particularly wool, for centuries.
