People or things that fasten, connect, or join one object to another.
From Middle English 'attachen,' derived from Old French 'attachier,' meaning to fasten or fix. The suffix '-er' creates an agent noun for those who perform the action of attaching.
The word 'attach' originally meant to seize someone legally, which is why 'attachers' once referred to officers who seized property—the modern meaning of fastening things together came later as the metaphor shifted from emotional/legal binding to physical connection.
