- 1套索／絞索（會越拉越緊的繩圈；也可比喻「圈套越收越緊」）
A noose is a ring made at the end of a piece of rope so that the loop gets smaller when you pull. People have used that kind of loop as a trap, and it is also the loop used to hang someone as a punishment, so in news and history it is a dark, serious word. Talk stretches it: “the noose is tightening” means trouble is closing in, even when there is no rope. Though actually, not every loop of rope is a noose — a noose is the kind that tightens on itself. You can also use it as a verb: to noose something is to catch it in that tightening loop. Handle the word with care; hanging makes it heavy for many listeners.
組成From Middle English nose, a loop. The earlier source is unclear. It may come from an old French or Occitan word for a knot, or — perhaps more likely — from Middle Low German nȫse (a loop or snare).
