Etymology

The term 'eyelet' originated from the late Middle Ages, derived from the Middle English term 'eyelet', which itself comes from the word 'eye', reflecting the small round shape of the hole. The diminutive suffix '-let' indicates something small or of lesser size. Historically, eyelets were used in various textiles for reinforcements, dating back to when tailoring techniques were evolving. The concept of using tiny holes in fabric can be traced to medieval garments, where they served both functional and decorative purposes. As fashion evolved, eyelets became popular in the construction of various apparel, contributing to the intersection of utility and aesthetics in clothing design.
