cascabel

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A small, round, hot variety of chili pepper, Capsicum annuum, which rattles when dry.

2. isim A knob at the end of a cannon, cast onto the gun breech, to which a heavy rope is attached in order to control recoil.

   “The cascabel, instead of being permanently attached to the breech of the piece, is set into it by means of a screw, and thus in reality the bore extends the entire distance of the gun, so that when the cascabel is taken off one can look directly through the gun.”

3. isim A bell attached to a sleigh or sleigh harness.
