What they are?

Lanyards or laniards are ropes or cords that are worn around the neck or the wrist to carry something. It is generally used at places where there is a chance of losing the object.

History

Lanyards were first used in the military. They were used to connect a pistol, sword or whistle (for signalling) to a uniform on a semi-permanent basis. Lanyards were thus used to secure objects that had a high probability of getting lost, especially during action on the battlefield.

Meaning of the word 'lanyard'

The online etymology dictionary etymonline.com traces the history of the word 'lanyard' back to the Middle English term 'lainer', which means 'thong for fastening parts of armour or clothing'. As noted, lanyards are used to fasten and carry around small objects and thus the meaning of the word becomes clear.
