意味（2）
(Britain,
obsolete)
A
man
employed
by
the
owners
of
a
canal
to
push
boats
through
narrow
canal
tunnels.
The
legger
would
lie
on
his
back
on
a
piece
of
wood
on
the
boat
with
his
feet
reaching
to
the
tunnel
wall,
and
walk
it
along.
This
could
be
done
by
the
boat's
crew,
but
the
canals
employed
men
specifically
for
the
task
because
they
could
do
it
faster
and
prevent
a
tunnel
becoming
a
bottleneck
for
traffic.
