Velcro (n.)

1958年，专有名词（英国），源自法语 vel(ours) cro(ché) “钩绒”。

Here is a nonmetallic fastener with no mechanical parts. It is simply two strips of nylon, one woven with thousands of tiny protruding hooks, the other with loops. Pressed together, they catch like a burr to clothing, can't be parted except by peeling. American Velcro, Manchester, N.H., makes them to hold anything from pants to upholstery.

这是一种没有机械部件的非金属扣件。它只是由两条尼龙带组成，一条编织有成千上万个微小的凸起钩子，另一条则有环。它们被压在一起，像草籽一样粘在衣服上，只能通过剥离才能分开。美国 Velcro 公司位于新罕布什尔州曼彻斯特，生产用于固定从裤子到室内装饰等任何物品的 Velcro 扣带。[Popular Science，1958年12月]
