belt
Loops through trousers
Most long, flat strips of fabric or leather can be called belts, whether they encircle a waist, connect wheels on a machine, or strap you into a seat.
Uniform things with a belt-like shape also get the name (asteroid belt).
Figuratively, tightening your belt means spending less money.
If you belt someone, you hit them.
If you belt out a tune you sing it loudly and forcefully.
