A harness(notice the lack of a 'd') is a strap system to gain control over something.

Like the thing people attach a dog lead to so that their kids won't just go kamikaze into a car.

Coding harnesses are named by analogy to that.

They are not hard.

The reason I have a dog harness is to distributes weight so I don't choke her when she goes at the other dog that she doesn't like. I'm actually puzzling over kids kamikazeing into cars
