Hitch

A hitch is a knot tied in a rope and used to secure that rope to a rigid object. The object may be a cleat, post, ring, hook or even another rope. That object contributes nothing mechanically to the fastening of the knot beyond its function as a point of attachment for the knot in the line. The choice of hitch will be influenced by the shape of the object to which the line is to be attached. A highwayman's hitch will attach well to a rail while an ossel hitch is a good choice to tie to another rope.
A tow hitch is a construction on a truck or car to attach a trailer. Hitch is a movie starring Will Smith that debuted February, 2005. See Hitch (movie).
