短释义：
Staple also has the broader more abstract sense of being anything that’s popular or necessary. A staple of the political scene is partisan bickering; a staple of Broadway theater is the musical revival. And let’s not forget another meaning — those handy little metal clasps that hold things together. Though most people wouldn’t consider a staple a staple.
面包。牛奶。汽油。 Xbox。这些有什么共同点？它们都是大多数人消费的主食——永远有需求的基本产品。

Staple 还具有更广泛、更抽象的含义，即任何流行或必需的东西。政治舞台上的一个主要内容是党派争吵。百老汇剧院的一个主要内容是音乐剧的复兴。我们不要忘记另一个含义——那些方便的小金属扣，可以将东西固定在一起。尽管大多数人不会认为主食是主食。

词源：
staple (n.1)”bent piece of metal with pointed ends,” late 13c., from Old English stapol “post, pillar, trunk of a tree, steps to a house,” from Proto-Germanic *stapulaz “pillar” (source also of Old Saxon stapal “candle, small tub,” Old Frisian stapul “stem of a tooth,” Dutch stapel “a prop, foot-rest, seat,” Middle Low German stapel “block for executions,” German Stapel “stake, beam”), from *stap-, from PIE stebh- (see staff (n.)).A general Germanic word that apparently evolved a specialized meaning in English, though OED finds the connection unclear and suggests the later sense in English might not be the same word. Meaning “piece of thin wire driven through papers to hold them together” is attested from 1895.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
staple (n.1)“带有尖头的弯曲金属片”，13世纪末，源自古英语 stapol“柱子、柱子、树干、通向房屋的台阶”，源自原始日耳曼语 *stapulaz“柱子”（还来源于古撒克逊语stapal“蜡烛，小浴缸”，古弗里斯兰语stapel“牙齿的茎”，荷兰语stapel“支柱，脚踏板，座位”，中古低地德语stapel“行刑块”，德语stapel“木桩” ，beam”），来自 *stap-，来自 PIE stebh-（参见工作人员（n.））。一个通用的日耳曼词，显然在英语中演变出了一个专门的含义，尽管《牛津英语词典》发现这种联系不清楚，并暗示英语中后来的含义可能不是同一个词。含义是“穿过纸张将纸张固定在一起的一根细线”，这一含义自 1895 年起得到证实。相关条目及更多
