Origin of the word drumstick

The word "drumstick" has a fascinating history. Originally, it referred to a type of **club** used for playing drums, likely due to its resemblance to a drumstick. Later, the word was applied to the **leg of a chicken** because of its similar shape to the drum club. This connection between drumsticks and chicken legs likely arose because both were used for percussion - the club for drums and the chicken leg for "drumming" on the ground. The word evolved over time, ultimately associating the edible chicken leg with the musical instrument.
