nosebag
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: nosebags
form: nose-bag
form: nose bag
Etymology: From nose + bag.
Senses: examples: 1908 Animal Management. Prepared in The Veterinary Department for General Staff, War Office, London: Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office
During peace in all marches of five hours it is advisable to feed once en route, if possible immediately after the horses have had a good drink. The bit being removed, the nosebag is to be buckled well up, to allow the horse to reach the feed easily and prevent him tossing his head and spilling the grain. Half-way through the feed it may require readjusting for the same reason. Horses that toss their heads persistently should have the top of the bag tightened round the face by a rubber, cord, or strap, to prevent waste. When the horse ceases to feed he should be allowed to graze and the nosebag is to be turned inside out to dry.
synonyms: feedbag
glosses: A sack or bag for feeding a horse, mule, ox or similar animal, generally on the move or away from the home stable or paddock. Designed to be attached to harness and slipped over the animal's nose to permit feeding while eliminating spillage; designs vary.
examples: 1925 P. G. Wodehouse. "Carry On, Jeeves" pub. Herbert Jenkins
For this man Filmer, you must understand, was not one of those men who are lightly kept from the tea-table. A hearty trencherman, and particularly fond of his five o’clock couple of cups and bite of muffin, he had until this afternoon always been well up among the leaders in the race for the food-trough. If one thing was certain, it was that only the machinations of some enemy could be keeping him from being in the drawing-room now, complete with nosebag.

Senses: examples: text: However, it is possible to derive topological results from statements about Cauchy sequences; for example, a subset A of the space of real numbers is closed if and only if each Cauchy sequence in A converges to some point of A.

In the general case, however, this is not so. If a metric space does have the property that every Cauchy sequence converges, the space is called a complete metric space.
ref: 2000, George Bachman, Lawrence Narici, Functional Analysis, page 52:
