GARROTES Meaning and
Definition
-
Garrotes, also known as garrots, are a type of choking or strangulation weapon utilized in acts of violence. This term can refer to both the weapon itself and the act of strangulating someone with it.
As a weapon, a garrote typically consists of a cord, rope, wire, or similar material that is tightened around someone's neck to restrict airflow and cause asphyxiation. It may also include handles, pads, or other components to facilitate the gripping and application of pressure. Historically, garrotes were often made of metal, such as iron or brass, and could be a simple handheld device or a more complex contraption.
The act of garroting involves using such a weapon to forcefully strangle and kill someone. It is a brutal and often clandestine method of execution or assassination. Throughout history, garroting has been used by various individuals and groups for various purposes, including criminal activities, political executions, and acts of torture.
While garrotes are primarily associated with violence and criminal activities, the term can also be used metaphorically or figuratively to describe situations in which someone or something is being forcefully or unfairly restricted, oppressed, or silenced. In a broader sense, it can represent a form of coercion or control that suppresses individual freedoms or expression.
