The tiny piece at the end of a shoelace is called an aglet. An aglet is a small plastic or metal sheath that is used to protect the ends of a shoelace and make it easier to thread through the eyelets of a shoe. Aglets can also be used on other types of cords and strings, such as drawstrings and lanyards.
The tiny piece at the end of a shoelace is called an aglet. It is a small plastic or metal tip that holds the threads of the shoelace together to prevent fraying and makes it easier to thread through the eyelets of a shoe. The word "aglet" comes from the Latin word "acus," meaning needle, and "aiglet," meaning a metal sheath for a lace end.
