What does SADDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shaped seat for a rider, strapped on the back of a horse or fixed to a bicycle or motorcycle.
The saddle is the piece of tack that lets a rider sit securely on a horse, and the same word was later given to the seat of a bicycle. The word has many extended senses: a low dip between two peaks on a ridge, a cut of meat taken from the back of lamb or venison, and a support on which a pipe or cable rests. As a verb, to saddle a horse means to put the seat on it, while to saddle someone with a task means to load them with an unwelcome burden. The phrase in the saddle suggests being in control.
