girdle

Each bag is assigned to a player and contains everything that person wore under his uniform — compression shirts, girdles, tights, socks, skull caps.

In fish, the pelvic fins and bones of the pelvic girdle are relatively small and float freely in the body.

It takes precision to harness so much abundance; raising the house to save the sibipiruna, for instance, meant inserting tiers in the terrain to avoid girdling the roots of pre-existing loquats and phoenix palms.

If allowed to grow up the trunk of a tree, it can eventually girdle or smother and kill it.

As long as a tree is not girdled — cut entirely around its circumference, severing all the vascular tissue — it will continue to live.
