Hitch up Meaning in English
expression
释义
To attach something with a hook or fastener, to pull clothing up, or (informally) to get married. Context decides the meaning.
用法与细微差别
Often refers to securing animals (like horses) or trailers ('hitch up the horse'), pulling up clothes ('hitch up your pants'), or, informally, getting married ('They hitched up last year'). The informal marriage meaning is less common in the US today. Usually informal. Don't confuse with 'hitchhike' (ride-seeking) or 'hook up' (meet or have a relationship).
