trailer

Film teaser clips

A trailer is something towed behind a vehicle—a cargo trailer, a camper trailer, a boat trailer.

In American English, trailer often means a mobile home: They lived in a trailer park outside town.

A movie trailer is a short preview shown before features, originally because these clips trailed the main film.

As a verb, to trailer is to transport something by trailer: We trailered the horses to the fairgrounds.
