What does TERRET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A metal ring fixed to a harness through which the driving reins pass.
Harness makers mount a terret on the saddle or hames of a horse in harness, guiding the long reins from the driver's hands back along the horse's sides without letting them tangle or drop. Several terrets are usually spaced along the harness so the reins run in a straight, controlled line. Some dictionaries also spell the word territ, though terret is the more common form.

Used in harness-making and carriage-driving contexts rather than everyday speech.
- The driver threaded the reins through each terret before setting off.
