The craft, practice, or art of making frills; ornamental or decorative frills collectively.
Derived from 'frill' + the suffix '-ery' (indicating a practice, place, or collection). Formed in analogy with words like 'archery,' 'embroidery,' and 'millinery' to denote a specialized craft.
The suffix '-ery' is incredibly productive in English—you can apply it to nearly any noun to create a word meaning that person's craft (archery, cookery, knitting). Some combinations stick and become real words; most vanish into the void of language possibility.
