Tinderstick

does the word have an actual meaning? (except for the group)

and if not: what does it refer to?

thanks

[/nq] Tinder is something that can catch on fire easily (like kindling). It may be used to start a fire because it will burn before larger pieces of wood will burn. I have never seen "tinderstick" as a single word, but it would probably mean a small stick that is used as tinder to start a fire.
