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

'agrafe' transformed into the modern English word 'agraffee' through adaptation in the context of champagne production.

Initially, it meant 'hook or clasp,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'wire fastener for champagne corks.'
