Definition:
A tether connects one thing to another, preventing drift or sudden departure. This bond may be physical, like a rope, or figurative, like a responsibility or memory that keeps someone grounded. Tethers create a sense of limit, defining how far one can move before being drawn back. The word suggests both security and restraint. It highlights the ties that shape movement and choice.
