What does TRAMEL mean in Scrabble?
verb
North American
To hinder or hamper someone by placing restraints on their movement or freedom to act.
To tramel a person or an idea is to bind it with rules, debts or obstacles so that it cannot move freely. The spelling is the American simplified form of a word that traditionally has a double m, and it appears in some word lists for that reason. Behind it lies an old noun for a net or a shackle used for catching birds and fish or for training horses.
