Literature | Finger-stall A hutkin, a cover for a sore finger. The Germans call a thimble a finger-hut, where hut is evidently the word hut or huth (a tending, keeping, or guarding), from the verb huten (to keep watch over). Our hutkin is simply a little cap for guarding a sore finger. Stall is the Saxon stæl (a place), whence our stall, a place for horses. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Medicine | Protective device for a single finger or finger tip designed to guard against skin friction and pressure, moisture, chemicals and other liquids, cuts, and hot materials. Source: European Union. (references) |
