A French word for a file, folder, or collection of documents related to a person or subject; a dossier.
From French 'dossière,' from 'dos' (back), referring to the label on the back of a file or folder. This evolved into the term for organized collections of documents.
The French word 'dossière' literally refers to the back of a folder (where the label goes)—it's fascinating how language often names things by their most visible or distinctive physical feature!
