Fetters or shackles are a kind of physical restraint used on the feet or ankles. The term "fetter" shares a root with the word "foot".
In humans, typically only prisoners or bondage fetishists will wear shackles. A shackled animal is typically either a dangerous animal or one prone to escape.
Metaphorically, a fetter may be anything that restricts or restrains in any way.
