clips

Holds papers together

Clips are small fastening devices that grip or hold things together—paper clips, hair clips, binder clips.

A clip is also a container holding ammunition for quick loading into a firearm.

In media, a clip is a short segment extracted from longer footage: Did you see that clip from the interview?

To clip is to cut or trim: clip the hedges, clip coupons.

A clip can also be a sharp blow: a clip on the ear.

At a good clip means at a brisk pace.
