Clothes pins, clothespins, and clothes pegs are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same item, which is a device used for hanging clothes on a line to dry. While there might be slight regional variations in the terminology, the fundamental function and design remain consistent.

The item itself consists of two wooden or plastic jaws connected by a spring mechanism. The jaws can be opened and closed to grip the clothing securely and prevent it from being blown away by the wind. The name “clothes pin” or “clothespin” is derived from the action of pinching or gripping the clothes with the jaws of the device. On the other hand, “clothes peg” uses the term “peg” to describe the same object, referring to its function of holding or securing clothes in place.
