Copy and pasted....
Although the historical origins of this term have been lost, some suggest that it stands for "finestra", the Italian word for window. The Italians are reportedly responsible for inventing the series of numbers we have come to know as f stops

Oh, and its spelt "aperture"

It stands for focal length.

It's f/8 or whatever, and in the equation f is focal length.

Cool. I've wondered this for ages but just accepted it was 'f' and that's it.
