Answer

FILET

FILET refers to a boneless cut of meat or fish. The word comes from French, where it originally meant a ribbon or strip. In culinary contexts, it describes a tender, premium portion, such as filet mignon or a fish filet. The spelling without the second L is the preferred American English version.

Strategy Tip

Words borrowed from French often end with silent letters or have unusual letter combinations. When you see letters like I and E together, consider whether you might be dealing with a word of French origin.
