It is cel actually. It’s named after transparent paper that was used for animation forever ago, called celluloid.
I think “cel shading” is just 3d shaders that apply that style, though cel shading colloquially just references the style so I may be wrong on that part.

It is cel. It’s a specific shading process named after celluloid film that was briefly used for animation a lifetime ago. It’s pretty neat actually.

I know it to be cells being filled with a single colour.

I hate to be pedantic with naming/spelling but it’s silly to speak as an authority when you have no idea what you’re talking about…
