椎

Meaning

椎 centers on a hard, rounded object used for striking or as a structural support: a mallet or hammer, and by extension the spine (vertebrae) which are like small mallets or blocks stacked together. The chinquapin tree meaning is a specific botanical application, likely from the tree's hard wood used for mallets.
