Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1958, proprietary name (Britain), from French vel(ours) cro(ché) "hooked velvet."\n\nHere is a nonmetallic fastener with no mechanical parts. It is simply two strips of nylon, one woven with thousands of tiny protruding hooks, the other with loops. Pressed together, they catch like a burr to clothing, can't be parted except by peeling. American Velcro, Manchester, N.H., makes them to hold anything from pants to upholstery.
