A leash is the rope or strap you clip onto a dog's collar so you can hold it and control where it goes on a walk. We also use it as a verb — "leash your dog" means put it on the leash. And people use "leash" for control in general: if someone is "kept on a short leash," it means someone else is watching them very closely and not giving them much freedom.
(狗的)牽繩
組成Comes from an old French word for "something that leads." It doesn't split into English pieces you'd recognize.
