The word "ament" comes from the Latin word "amentum", which refers to a strip of cloth or leather. In Latin, it specifically denoted the strap used to hang a shield from the neck. Over time, the term also developed a more general meaning of "ligament" or "fastening". The word ultimately entered into Middle English as "ament" or "amentum", retaining the sense of a fastening or attachment.
