match stick
Wooden friction igniter
A match stick is a small wooden or cardboard stick tipped with a combustible material that ignites when struck against a rough surface.
The term is often written as one word: matchstick.
Figuratively, matchstick describes things that are thin and fragile: matchstick legs, a matchstick frame.
Children build structures from used match sticks as a craft activity.
