Etymology

The word 'hasp' originates from the Old English 'hรฆsp', which referred to a fastening device. Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic '*haspaz', meaning a clasp or fastening. Traditionally, hasps were used in medieval times for securing doors and chests, evolving in design and materials over the centuries. The usage of hasps became more widespread with the development of metalworking techniques, leading to more durable and secure designs. Today, hasps are commonly found in various forms and materials, serving both functional and decorative purposes in modern hardware and security applications.
