Compare Old Occitan aiguilleta small needle (c1220; also 1397 as agulheta), Catalan agulleta, denoting metal pins used for various purposes (e.g. for fastening a buckle or clasp, as a sort of nail, etc.) (1575), Spanish agujeta cord, lace, strap (c1400), Portuguese agulheta metal tag of a lace (15th cent.).Reborrowed from French in the 18th cent. as aiguillette n. The form naglott shows metanalysis.

† aglet baby n. Obsolete (a) (in Shakespeare) a childish or doll-like person decorated with aglets; (b) (in later use) used as a vague and sometimes contemptuous term for a small or young person.Explained by some as an aglet shaped like a human figure. Johnson defines aglet as ‘A tag of a point curved into some representation of an animal, generally of a man’, but no quotations have been found substantiating this statement, which was perhaps merely suggested as an explanation of aglet baby.
