The aglet is the actual end of the shoe lace but I just found this:
The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".
Very interesting DF and well done boxy. I know there is one of those arpound here somewhere - either in the shed or under the stairs. Bobbi's thread has come full circle now - I need to tify up my drawers to find the little blighter!
