Origin of the word lanyard

The word "lanyard" has its roots in the 14th century. It originates from the Old French word "lagnier" or "lanière," which refers to a lace or string. During the medieval period, a lanyard was a type of cord or strap used to secure items such as swords, daggers, or other tools to a belt or harness. In the 16th century, the term "lanyard" began to be used more broadly to describe any type of cord, rope, or strap used for fastening or securing something. Today, a lanyard is often used to describe a cord or strap used to wear identification tags, badges, or other items around the neck.
