wick
Flame's fuel conduit
A wick is the cord or strip of material in a candle, lamp, or lighter that draws fuel upward by capillary action to be burned: The candle's wick sputtered and went out.
To wick is to absorb or draw moisture away—performance fabrics wick sweat from skin.
To get on someone's wick (British) is to annoy them.
