It has two meanings in English: First of all it's the sheet usually made of cotton used to cover or wrap a corpse (a dead person) in - we also call it a winding sheet because it is 'wound' around the dead body. On a sailing ship it is a part of the rigging that holds the mast or the top-mast in place, known as standing rigging because it is only removed if the mast has to come down for some reason. Rigging means all the ropes that either keep the masts and spars in place or control the sails.
