walking-sticks
Portable mobility supports
Walking-sticks are canes used to aid balance while walking, typically by the elderly or injured.
The term also refers to stick insects—elongated insects that mimic twigs for camouflage.
In American English, the hyphenated plural usually means the insects: The walking-sticks in the terrarium were nearly invisible among the branches.
