I think what got my back up initially was my experience long ago

BTW, if anybody is wondering, a "gicleur" is the French term for a
jet (as in a carburetor jet). "Giclée" means that the ink (or
pigment as the case may be) has gone through a jet.
I know the term sounds murky and pretentious, but it is a
descriptive technical term (in French).
"Fresco" would be a similar descriptive term, borrowed Italian in
this case, and that's come to be generally understood within the art
market.
Of course, only time will tell if "Giclée" remains the preferred
English term, or if "Inkjet," "Dye Print," "Pigment Print" or
something else prevails.
