dongle

A Bluetooth dongle

THEVERGE.COM
The iPhone headphone dongle is Apple’s top accessory at Best Buy



A dongle is a small piece of hardware that connects to another device to provide it with additional functionality.[1] In computing, the term is primarily associated with hardware providing a copy protection mechanism for proprietary software, in which the dongle must be attached to the system on which the software is installed in order for it to function.
The first dongles were attached to the PC parallel port of the IBM PC via the DB-25 Centronics plug to prevent unauthorised use of proprietary software, while still allowing normal operation of the printer.

ドングル（Dongle）は、コンピュータに接続する小さな装置を指す俗語。

語源[編集]

由来は不明である。
ジャーゴンファイルの「dongle」の項によれば、1992年の早期にRainbow Technologiesというドングルの製造者が、発明者の「Don Gall」に由来する、と宣伝のコピーにしていたことがあったが、これは宣伝用の作り話であることが確認されている。[1]
