noun
A stout upright piece of wood, metal or other material fixed in the ground to support or mark something.
A post stands firm in the ground to hold up a fence, a sign or a building frame. The same word branched out to name the system that carries letters and parcels, since messages were once carried in stages between fixed posts along a route, giving us post office and to post a letter.
