AIGUILLETTE (Fr. diminutive of aiguille, a needle; the obsolete English form is " aglet ")

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 436 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AIGUILLETTE (Fr. diminutive of aiguille, a needle; the obsolete English form is " aglet ") , originally a tag of metal, often made of
precious
  metals and richly chased, attached to the end of a lace or ribbon, and pointed, so as to pass more easily through eyelet holes. The
term
  was, in
time
 , applied to any
bright
 
ornament
  or pendant for the dress made of metal, and is now specially used of ornamental cords and tags of gold and silver lace, worn on
naval
  and military uniforms. The
aiguillette
  is fastened to the
shoulder
 , the various cords
hanging
  down therefrom being fastened at their other end on the front of the coat.
