The term 'It's a Gripper' can be solved by the word 'Velcro', which is a brand of fabric fastener consisting of two strips of fabric with tiny hooks on one side and loops on the other. When pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and hold the pieces of fabric together. Velcro was invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer George de Mestral, and has since become a popular fastening solution for a variety of applications.
