Short for file specification; a complete description of a file's location, name, and path in a computer system.
Abbreviated compound from 'file' (Old English 'feol') + 'specification' (from Latin 'specificus', meaning 'specific'). Computer jargon shortened through abbreviation.
A filespec is like a complete address for a document—not just the house name but the street, city, and country—and if even one character is wrong, the computer can't find it, which is why precision matters so much in digital spaces!
