A man named George de Mestral found burrs stuck to his pants and dog's fur after a nature hike in 1948. He studied the way the hook-like pattern of the burrs stuck to the cloth of his pants under a microscope. The word VELCRO is made of parts of two french words, velours (velvet) and crochet ( hook)
