4. Anatomy & Origin

The word aglet (or aiglet) derives from Old French aiguillette, the diminutive of aiguille ("needle").

Invented in antiquity to prevent braided fibers from unraveling and ease threading through tight corsets and armor. Modern aglets use cellulose acetate rolled with acetone or crimped cold-rolled brass.
