strop, a rope
spliced into a circle for use around the
shell of a
block so as to form an
eye at the bottom; or to form a sling for heavy articles which need to be hoisted with the aid of a
purchase or a
parbuckle to lift them up a slope. Strops are also frequently used to double round a rope or
hawser to form an eye into which a
tackle can be hooked in order to give a greater purchase.
