Aglet

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".

Every day is a school day. 😀

Ralph, if you're going take the time to correct his English, at least take the time to punctuate yours correctly. 😉
