  Walking Stick

Walking stick is the name of what you take in your hand to keep you in good balance when you have a hard time in walking, because your legs are feeble, you are on a hard road, or going up a mountain.

If a stick, or a machine in the form of stick, makes a move and has a walk, it may go by the name of "walking stick."

You will say: "No. A stick may only have a jump or roll. It doesn't have legs, so it will be unable to have a walk."

If a stickman, or a stick-like machine, has legs, it may go walking. In some countries, you may see an insect with a brown body which is truly looking like a stick of wood with six legs. It doesn't have a walk in an upright position, but it goes by the name of walking stick.
