A harness is a device that helps control and direct movement or power.
You might see a harness being used with animals like horses or dogs to help them carry heavy loads or ride safely. But it's also used for other things, like bicycles or motorcycles, to give riders more support and control while they're moving. And in science and technology, you can talk about harnessing energy from natural sources like wind or water to use as power. For example, a solar panel might be used to harness sunlight and turn it into electricity.
To place a harness on something; to tie up or restrain.
Example: They harnessed the horse to the post.
