the.com/lasso
A knot that only tightens its grip the harder you run from it.
means A long rope with a sliding loop, used to catch cattle or horses by the neck or legs.
from From Spanish 'lazo,' meaning 'tie' or 'bow,' which traces back to Latin 'laqueus' — a snare or noose. That Latin root also lassoed its way into English words like 'lace' and 'ligament,' all sharing the idea of binding or tying fast. The word rode into English alongside the vaqueros and ranching culture of the American West.
