wicker
word
Definition
Thin, flexible twigs or stems, often from willow or similar plants, used to make baskets, furniture, and other woven items. 'Wicker' can also refer to objects made from this material.
Usage & Nuances
Usually used as a material adjective ('wicker basket', 'wicker chair'), rarely as a noun by itself. Common in home decor and furniture contexts. Not to be confused with 'willow' (a type of tree), though willows are a source.
