A clasp or metal fastening used to hold two pieces of material together, especially in armor or clothing.
From Old French 'agrafe,' possibly related to Germanic 'greifen' (to grasp or seize), describing a device that grabs or holds tightly.
Knights used agraffes to quickly fasten their armor pieces together in battle—it's basically the medieval version of a safety pin or carabiner!
