The name "pliers" is derived from the Old French word "piler," which means "to pluck or to squeeze." This reflects the tool's primary function of gripping and manipulating objects. The term evolved over time, with its usage in English becoming more common in the 14th century. Pliers have since become an essential tool in various trades, retaining a name that highlights their gripping capabilities.
