The term "Trombone" in French is used to refer to a paper clip due to its resemblance to the musical instrument, the trombone. The shape of a paper clip with its curved and elongated form is similar to the slide of a trombone. This association likely originated from the visual similarity between the two objects, leading to the adoption of the term "trombone" for paper clip in the French language.
