paperclip
Bent wire fastener
A paperclip is a small bent wire used to hold sheets of paper together.
The familiar double-loop design has remained largely unchanged since the late 19th century.
To paperclip documents is to fasten them this way: I paperclipped the receipt to the form.
The word also appears as two words or hyphenated.
