The word “chicane” can have a couple of meanings:
1. In the context of racing, a “chicane” refers to a sharp or complex series of turns in a racetrack that is designed to slow down the racers and increase the difficulty of the course. It typically consists of alternating left and right turns.
2. In a more general context, “chicane” can also mean to use trickery or deception to achieve an advantage, often in a legal or political situation.
Both definitions emphasize the idea of navigating through obstacles, either physically on a track or metaphorically in a situation.
