Information about a file's current state, such as whether it's open, closed, read-only, or if it's been modified.
Compound from 'file' (Old English 'feol') + 'status' (from Latin 'status', meaning 'state' or 'condition'). Modern computing term for metadata tracking.
Your computer constantly tracks filestatus—knowing which files are locked, who's using them, and whether they've been modified—it's like a librarian keeping tabs on who has which books and whether they're damaged!
