LASSO Meaning and Definition

  1. A lasso is a noun that refers to a looped rope or a long cord with a sliding noose at one end. It is primarily used for capturing or restraining livestock, especially horses and cattle. The lasso is an important tool in cowboy culture and is synonymous with the American West.

    Typically made from a durable material like rope or leather, a lasso is designed to be thrown with accuracy and speed. The looped end is propelled forward, aimed at the targeted animal, and then quickly tightened around its neck or body. This action allows the user to control and immobilize the animal.

    The lasso has various applications outside of livestock management. It can be used in sports such as rodeo events, such as roping competitions or tie-down roping. Additionally, it has become a symbol of skill, dexterity, and cowboy culture.

    Metaphorically, the term "lasso" can be used to describe the act of capturing or gaining control over something or someone. It implies a skillful and quick action, often requiring precision and accuracy.

    In summary, a lasso is a looped rope or cord with a sliding noose used for capturing and restraining livestock, popularized by cowboy culture. It is also a term used metaphorically to describe gaining control over a situation or individual.

  2. • To capture with a lasso.
    • In S. Amer., a long rope or cord with a noose or loop at the end of it, used for catching wild horses or other animals.
