Aglet Awareness

This article is about the tip of the shoelace. You may be looking for the song with a similar name.

An aglet is a device that secures each end of a shoelace and prevents it from fraying, making it easier to thread the shoelace through the holes in a shoe ("Tip of the Day").

Etymology

The word aglet (or aiglet) comes from Old French aguillette (or aiguillette), which is the diminutive of aguille (or aiguille), meaning needle. This in turn comes from acus, Latin for needle. An aglet is like a small needle at the end of a cord.
