Etymology of FISHTAIL

The word "fishtail" comes from the combination of two words: "fish" and "tail". The term originated from the observation that a fish's tail flares out and widens towards its end, tapering to a point. The similarity in shape between the tail of a fish and certain types of hair or clothing that flare out and taper has led to the use of the term "fishtail" to describe such designs or styles.
