stud

Framing lumber piece

A stud is an upright post in a wall frame, or a projecting knob or peg—shirt studs, tire studs, studs on a leather jacket.

In breeding, a stud is a male animal kept for reproduction, especially a stallion; a stud farm raises horses.

By extension, stud is slang for a sexually attractive or virile man: He thinks he's such a stud.

In poker, stud is a variant where some cards are dealt face up.
