"Most people have seen at least a picture of a set of stocks, but there are many different sorts. A stock is simply a wooden board with one or more semicircles cut into one edge. When adjoined to another stock, the semicircles form holes and become stocks (plural).

"There are a number of devices which contain stocks. For example, the lunette on a guillotine is a form of stocks. A magician’s sawing-in-half box has stocks at either end. The top part of a pillory is a set of stocks, and the whole thing is sometimes mistaken for stocks. But the stocks are a more specific part of the device."
