strap
Narrow binding strip
A strap is a narrow strip of flexible material—leather, fabric, nylon—used for fastening, holding, or carrying: a watch strap, a shoulder strap, a guitar strap.
To strap something is to secure it with straps: He strapped the luggage to the roof.
To be strapped for cash is to be short of money.
Strapped alone can mean armed with a gun.
