Staff (stick)
A staff is a large, thick stick or stick-shaped object used to help with
walking or as a status symbol or a
weapon. An older plural form of
staff, based on the archaic variant word
stave, is
staves. In American
English the usual plural form has become
staffs, however British and International English regard both as acceptable and "staves" as preferred.
