Herringbone is a pattern: a continuous line of V shapes, each row leaning the other way, so it looks like the skeleton of a fish. You see it on jackets, wool cloth, wooden floors, and brick paths. There is also a ski move called herringbone, where you walk up a hill with your skis in a V. It is a descriptive word from fashion, design, and sport — calm and practical, not slang. Though actually, the cloth is not made from herring; it is only named for the look. People say 'herringbone ' or 'a herringbone floor' as if the pattern were a material in its own right.

組成herring + bone. The pattern looks like the bones of a herring laid in rows of little V shapes. The verb (to herringbone up a slope) comes from the same picture.
