Meaning of "garrot" in English

In English, "garrot" is not a commonly used word and may refer to any derivation from "garrotte." The term is sometimes used to describe a method of execution that involves strangulation, typically involving a wire or cord around the neck. It is a historical practice that is no longer widely used. It can also refer to a tourniquet used to stop bleeding by constricting blood flow. This use in English heavily borrows from contexts where preventing bleeding or historical practices were relevant.
