clothesline definition and meaning

What is a "clothesline"?

A clothesline is a cord or wire, often made of cotton, nylon, or wire, which is stretched between two points, such as two trees or poles, for hanging laundry to dry. Clotheslines can be used indoors or outdoors, and are often used in areas where there is limited space for a dryer or where electricity is not readily available. Clotheslines come in various styles, including rotary, retractable, and pulley-operated, and can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of laundry. Hanging clothes on a clothesline is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to using a dryer, as it uses no energy and produces no emissions.
