rivet
Hammered metal pin
A rivet is a metal fastener—a pin or bolt with a head on one end, inserted through aligned holes and hammered flat on the other end to join materials permanently.
To rivet is to fasten with rivets, but more commonly means to hold attention completely: The audience sat riveted.
Something riveting is utterly absorbing: a riveting performance.
