stapling

/ˈsteɪpəɫɪŋ/, /ˈsteɪpɫɪŋ/ noun

Word Origin Staple originally meant a post or pillar — something that holds things up. The metal fastener we call a staple got its name because it's like a small post that holds papers together. Stapling is the act of fastening with these little pillars. The same root *stebh- gives us staff and stave, all supporting things.

noun The act by which something is stapled. countable
