My brain has, in the intervening weeks, offered up a memory of learning the word “aglet” from a Reader’s Digest vocabulary quiz in my childhood. That said, your explanation is much better than mind, despite being false, so I’m tempted to accept it as the official story of why I know the word “aglet”.
On this site, I really ought to be downvoted for that sentiment, I suppose.
