'five-spot' originates from English, specifically the combination of 'five' and 'spot,' where 'five' refers to the number and 'spot' refers to a place or mark.

'five-spot' was used in American English to refer to a five-dollar bill, and eventually became a colloquial term for the currency.

Initially, it meant 'a marked place or spot,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a five-dollar bill.'
