'agraffe' originates from French, specifically the word 'agrafe,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'graphe' meant 'hook.'

'agrafe' transformed into the English word 'agraffe' and has been used in modern English to describe both a clothing fastener and a wire cage for bottles.

Initially, it meant 'hook or clasp,' but over time it evolved to include the meaning of a wire cage for bottles.
