Etymology
The word filename comes from two simple words: file and name. File is like a folder or a stack of papers and name means 'a word to identify something'. Think of a filename as a 'name tag' for a digital document, and the ending called the extension works like a small tag that shows the file's 'type', so that's why a filename tells you what the file is and often how to open it.
