Etymology
"Tether" comes from the Old English word "tedor", which originally meant "rope or cord". It is related to the Dutch "tijer" and German "Zehr" (string), all of which derive from the Proto-Indo-European root "*tar-", meaning "to twist or twine".
Meaning
A tether is a rope or chain that is used to tie up an animal, or to connect something to a fixed point. It can also be used figuratively to refer to a restriction or limitation.
Origin
Tethers have been used for centuries to keep animals secure while grazing or being transported. The earliest recorded use of the term "tether" dates back to the 13th century in England.
