pricket (PRIK-eht) - n., a spike on which a candle is stuck; a male deer in his second year.


I had this on my list for the second, but the first is one of those "oh that's what those are called" moments. Both are from prick. As for why the young buck, in his second year he has unbranched antlers, so single spikes.
