WHAT DOES PICKAROON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pickaroon

Pickaroon

A pickaroon is a wood-handled, metal-topped log handling tool. It is distinguished from a pike pole by having a shorter handle, no metal point, and an opposite curve to its hook; and from both a cant hook and peavey by having a fixed hook facing its handle rather than a pivoting one facing away. A pickaroon with a down-turned point on its hook is known as a hookaroon; one with an axe blade opposite its hook an axaroon, obviating the need to carry two tools to manage logs. Though it may be spelled the same, the tool is not to be confused with the 17th-century term for pirate, picaroon.
