'chevron' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'chevron,' where 'chevre' meant 'goat,' referring to the shape of a goat's horns.

'chevron' changed from the Old French word 'chevron' and eventually became the modern English word 'chevron'.

Initially, it meant 'rafter' or 'roof beam,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'V-shaped pattern or symbol'.
