Definition:

**H.P. (noun):** an abbreviation standing for "horsepower," a unit used to measure the power of engines, specifically the rate at which work is done; often used to describe the power output of vehicles or machinery. One horsepower is equivalent to 745.7 watts.

The term originated in the 18th century when Scottish engineer James Watt determined that a horse could perform 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute, leading to the measurement of engine power in "horsepower."
