agraffe - n., a hook-and-loop fastening, esp. an ornamental one on armor or clothing.
Also a couple other things, such a cramp iron used to hold stones of a building together, and a piece of a piano key's mechanism, but we'll ignore those. From French agrafe, from agrafer, to hook onto, from a- + grafer, to hook, that last being from Germanic roots.
