        Terraria made me think they were some sort of instrument because of how it looked.

          I kinda gathered that they were part of a footwear because they’re part of the boots upgrade, but yeah, I had to look up the term afterwards

      My thinking is that the aglet is a well known word these days, but if you were to poll a group, it would be mostly younger people who know what it is. Because of Phineas and Ferb.

      I’m glad so many people responded and most people got it right! But, I’ll have to do a real poll to figure out if there’s any actual correlation here, and also account for the fact that people who know what it is were more likely to answer than those who don’t.

    I believe there was a book in the 80s called Sniglets that made up words for things and this was one of them. I didn’t remember what it was called. Any or all of this memory could be wrong.

      All words are made up

        Most of them were not made up recently, and in a book of words made up for that book.

            Being naturally occuring or contrived influences their legitimacy and staying power.
