stool-balln.

Etymology: < stool n. + ball n.¹The ‘stool’ was the wicket (see stool n. 2d); perhaps it was originally an ordinary stool.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈstool-ball.

1. An old country game somewhat resembling cricket, played chiefly by young women or, as an Easter game, between young men and women for a ‘tansy’ (tansy n. 3) as the stake. Still played (in modified forms) by women and children in some districts, esp. in Sussex. (Quite distinct from stow-ball n.)
