Definition of paper clip
paper clipnoun
kẹp giấy
/ˈpeɪpəklɪp/
The term "paper clip" is a relatively recent invention. Before the 20th century, these ubiquitous office staples were simply known as "clips." The first paper clips were likely created in the late 19th century, but the word "paper clip" didn't gain widespread usage until the early 1900s. This coincided with the rise of the office, and the need for a specific name for this increasingly common office supply. While the origin of the term itself is vague, the "paper" component likely emphasizes its primary function: holding paper together.
