The word for folder has an interesting history. It came into English in the 16th century from the French verb filer, to string on a thread. This relates to storing documents by tying them together with string. It comes from the Latin filum, meaning thread, from which we also get our word filament.
Common misspellings of the word chicken are: 1  chicken in french. 2  chicken in spanish. 3  chicken in german. 4  chicken in italian. 5  chicken in portuguese.
Similarly, one might say two satay chickens, referring to the dish, not the animal (here, of course, satay is now an adjective, and this use is very common in my country). Even if one is referring to the skewered variety, this is still a dish, or a reference to the sauce, and thus uncountable.
