A curling stone or round stone used in the game of curling; also spelled 'donny' or 'donac.'
Scottish term, origin uncertain but possibly diminutive from 'don' or onomatopoetic of the sound a stone makes on ice, or possibly from Gaelic roots.
Curling emerged as a Scottish sport, and 'donnick' is one of those words that shows how local sports develop their own specialized vocabulary—only people who play curling seriously would ever use this word, making it a marker of community membership.
