Etymology
The term 'pin' is derived from the Old English word 'pinn', which has Germanic roots. Initially, it described a small, pointed object used for fastening things together. The verb form 'to pin' evolved over time, embodying not only the physical act of fastening with a pin but also the broader metaphorical use of securing or attaching ideas, messages, or items in a figurative sense. As various materials evolved, the usage of pins broadened, leading to diverse applications in crafts, garments, and organization. This has kept the word in regular use, particularly in contexts of crafting, communication, and digital interfaces.
