What does BRIDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The leather headgear, with a bit and reins, that a rider uses to steer and control a horse.
A bridle fits over the horse's head and holds the bit in its mouth, so the rider's hands can pass signals along the reins. The word is old, going back to Old English, and the thing has changed little in a thousand years. Figuratively it stands for any restraint, as in putting a bridle on one's temper. Sailors use the same word for a rope or chain looped so another line can be fastened to its middle.
