The act of executing or killing someone by strangulation with a cord or wire; the present participle of garrote.
From garrote plus -ing. The gerund form became common in English legal documents and crime reporting in the 19th century.
Garroting left distinctive marks on victims—a detailed analysis of these marks helped early forensic pathologists develop theories about criminal technique and victim resistance, essentially creating modern crime scene analysis.
