Etymology? is it from cricket? or is it derived from something else?

Non-definition

[edit]

To be out by being stumped by the wicket keeper. This is unusually stupid for a Wiktionary definition. One of the rules of a dictionary definition is that you don't use the head-word in the definition. Another rule is that the definition must be grammatically equivalent to the head-word. For example, "exhausted" means "very tired"; it doesn't mean "to be very tired". Koro Neil (talk) 01:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
