Noun
pl: eyelets

This term describes a functional aperture designed to protect a material from the friction and stress of a passing cord. It evokes a sense of precision and reinforcement, shifting the focus from a simple hole to a structured point of entry. In garment construction, it suggests a blend of utility and ornamentation, often associated with traditional craftsmanship or athletic gear.

In technical or industrial settings, the word implies a guiding mechanism. It refers to the specific point where a cable or wire is constrained to prevent tangling or abrasion, emphasizing stability and routing over mere passage.
