I came across an interesting little word yesterday while looking up an entirely different one:

prick·et n.

A small point or spike for holding a candle upright.
A candlestick having such a spike.
A buck in its second year, before the antlers branch.
[Middle English priket, diminutive of prik, prick, prick.]

From M-W and Atomica. If you look this word up on Atomica, you can see a nifty little illustration of a pricket (the second definition).

FWIW
