shillelagh. The knobby wooden club, or cudgel, called a shil- lelagh and used as both weapon and walking stick takes its name from the stout oaks of Shillelagh, a town in southwestern Ireland. Once made only of oak or blackthorn, a shillelagh can now be any thick knarled stick. The name is first recorded in the 17th century. |
