What does LASSO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long rope with a running noose at one end, used especially by cowboys to catch cattle and horses.
A lasso works because pulling the free end tightens the noose around whatever it lands on, letting a rider slow or hold an animal from a distance. The word comes from the Spanish lazo and is also used as a verb, and it has spread beyond ranching into computer software, where a lasso tool selects part of an image by drawing around it.
