Q.130170: “hold your horses” guess the meaning of idiom |
व्याख्या:- Hold your horses- A way of telling someone to stop, wait, or to hold on. Common ways of traveling today include cars, buses, airplanes, and trains. But what about traveling by means of horse riding and horse-drawn vehicles, such as a carriage? Well, these forms of transportation are not as prevalent anymore. This idiom, though, appears to be connected to these latter mentioned forms of travel. I would imagine, as others probably have also, that this phrase began simply as a way to tell someone to literally hold their horses, that is, to have the person bring their horses to a complete stop and to wait for a moment. And then later on, this idiom became a way for people to tell others to wait, regardless of if they had a horse.
