Etymology
Filter comes from Latin filtrum meaning 'cloth used to strain'; long ago photographers put coloured glass or cloth on lenses to change the light, and today a digital filter does the same inside an app. So a photo filter changes the look or colour by changing the light that 'passes through'.
