David put it much more clearly, with more history than I can,
while Giclee literally means "squirt" (see below) and has by some been used
generally for any kind of inkjet print, the term has more generally been
used in connection with fine (art) inkjet prints, and especially the IRIS
printers and prints.
As I understand it (from my French friends) Giclee is not a commonly used
word in French and certainly not associated with inkjet printing of any
kind. Most generally it is used ("squirt") as a veterinary term, so I was
informed by a Francophone vet....
