harness
Control and use
A harness is a set of straps fitted around an animal or person to control movement or distribute force.
Horses wear harnesses to pull carts; climbers wear harnesses attached to ropes.
To harness something is to put it to work: harness the wind, harness your creativity.
The phrase in harness means at work, especially routine work: He died in harness at seventy-two.
