Talk:sting

From Mermaldad: I added the following definition to the list:

A support for a wind tunnel model which extends parallel to the air flow.

It is a somewhat obscure technical term, but examples of it can be found by Googling "sting and strut".— This unsigned comment was added by Mermaldad (talk • contribs).

Thanks. Happy to have technical vocabulary. We could use more. DCDuring TALK 17:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Do the verb and the noun have different etymology? Can they be combined, since one of the words was simply derived from another?
