PRICKLE Meaning and Definition

1. Prickle, as a noun, refers to a small, pointed projection or spine that is found on the surface of a plant or animal. It is typically sharp and can cause a prickling sensation when touched. Prickles are often protective structures, serving as a natural defense mechanism against predators or as a deterrent to touch. They can be found on various parts of a plant, such as stems, leaves, or fruits, and they vary in size and shape depending on the species.

   As a verb, prickle describes the action of experiencing or causing a tingling or prickling sensation on the skin. It can be the result of various factors, including cold weather, fear, excitement, or even spicy food. The sensation is often described as a slight stinging or tingling feeling, similar to the prick of a needle. Prickling can occur in various parts of the body and can be accompanied by goosebumps or hair standing on end. It is often a temporary feeling that subsides once the trigger is removed or the body adapts to the situation.

   In a figurative sense, prickle can also describe a feeling of slight annoyance, discomfort, or irritation. It implies an unsettling or bothersome sensation that is not necessarily painful or severe, but still causes a sense of unease or annoyance.

2. A small sharp-pointed shoot or spine growing from the bark of a plant or tree; a thorn; a sharp-pointed process or projection, as from the skin of an animal or the bark of a plant.
