Definition
A young or inferior horse; a nag or broken-down horse of poor quality.
Etymology
From dialectal or obsolete English combining 'elt' (young animal) or 'el-' (possibly intensifying) with 'trot,' used in agricultural speech to describe a worthless workhorse.
Kelly Says
Dismissive animal words reveal economic history—terms like 'eltrot' show how peasants and farmers, who depended utterly on horses, developed elaborate vocabulary to distinguish between valuable animals and worthless ones.
