Streetlight on a stick, holding up dogs, drunks, and plot points since the 1800s.
means A post that holds a light to illuminate a street or path, usually standing solo on a sidewalk or corner.
from A plain compound: 'lamp,' from Greek lampas meaning 'torch' or 'light,' fused with 'post,' from Latin postis, 'a thing set upright.' The word itself arrived once cities started lining streets with oil, then gas, then electric lamps from the 1700s onward — the term simply described the object as it appeared: a lamp, on a post.
