The definition that it gives essentially says, “Large rope used to hold an item that could come loose and be blown away.” The link to that is cnrtl.fr/definition/sauvegarde. The definition is a little different, but the idea is still the same, isn't it? I hope that helps! | |

I have taken out the explanation at the top, as it does not need to be there.

| Jan 1, 2023 at 1:26 | comment | added | Dave X | I'd think "safety line" or "tether", since in this context they seem to not be actual control or working lines, but backup lines to prevent accidentally losing the item. | |
