Etymology
The word 'needle' originates from the Old English term 'nǣdl', which meant a small, slender instrument used for sewing or stitching. Its use has evolved over centuries, and by the time Middle English emerged, it was used not only in sewing but also as a medical instrument for puncturing and injection. As medicine advanced, the incorporation of needles into various medical practices became essential. The evolution of the modern needle has involved significant technological advancements, improving both the material and design for comfort and efficiency in medical procedures. This versatility has cemented the needle's role in both healthcare and craftwork, making it a fundamental tool across different fields.
