Cách sử dụng
A guillotine is a machine used for execution by decapitation. It consists of a tall upright frame in which a weighted and angled blade is raised to the top and suspended. The person to be executed is secured below the blade and as the blade falls, it cleanly severs the head from the body. The guillotine was famously used during the French Revolution to execute thousands of people. Today, the term can also be used metaphorically to refer to a situation or action that brings about a decisive and irreversible end or consequence.
