Word origin

The word 'halter' dates back to Middle English, from the Old French word 'haltere', which in turn comes from the Latin word 'halterium' meaning 'reins for horses'. The use of halters for leading and tying horses has been a common practice throughout history, evolving into the modern horse headstall known as a halter.
