Noose
Rope loop and knot / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Noose (disambiguation).
A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot. The knot can be used to secure a rope to a post, pole, or animal but only where the end is in a position that the loop can be passed over.
