Les sources ne s'entendent pas sur les sens rattachés au terme «paddock». À la rigueur, on pourrait distinguer : 1. enclos gazonné où les chevaux s'exercent ou se détendent; 2. carrière à proximité de l'enceinte d'un concours de saut d'obstacles où sont disposés des obstacles; 3. cercle où les chevaux sont échauffés avant une course; 4. aire couverte où les chevaux sont sellés, harnachés et réchauffés, et exposés au public s'il s'agit d'une course montée. Le synonyme «rond» correspond au 3e sens. 4, record 1, French, - rond
