What is the common English name for that "plastic part on the tip of a shoelace" which helps to easily insert the lace into the shoelace holes? (I'm not sure that's the correct name).
Edit: There are also metal parts of the kind.
Answer
It's called an "aglet".
a metal or plastic tag or sheath at the end of a lace used for tying, as of a shoelace.
I've known and used this term for years but whether it can be considered "commonly known" is up for debate. It's certainly not unheard of.
