The idiom ‘to buttonhole someone’ is a historical one. It was originally ‘to buttonhold’ and meant to hold on to the buttons of someone’s coat. The idea was to sell goods to a reluctant customer by stopping him from walking away. Over the years the verb has become buttonhole and its meaning has grown to include talking to someone on any subject which the listener does not want to hear.
