👉 A building, wing or dependency set apart and adapted for lodging and feeding (and training) animals with hoofs, especially horses.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is quite specific, you see – it's talking about something called a “string,” but not in the way we usually say it. It’s an old-fashioned term, mostly used in equestrian circles, that’s key! Think of it like this: “Strings” were stables, my dears, Where horses would stay and receive cheers. It wasn't just a place to keep them fed and dry, But also a spot for training, reaching for the sky! They provided lodging – a sheltered space you see, And often included areas for exercise and glee. So while we say "pulling a string" today with ease, Back then, “string” meant a stable, if you please! Does that make more sense? Any questions before we move on to the next word?
