belts
Loops through buckles
Belts are strips of material worn around the waist to hold up pants or as decoration.
The word extends to any band that encircles: a seat belt, a conveyor belt, a geographic belt like the Bible Belt or Rust Belt.
To belt is to strike forcefully: He belted the ball over the fence.
A belt is also a quick drink: a belt of whiskey.
To belt out a song is to sing it loudly and forcefully.
