Meaning
A broom. It stands for sweeping, cleaning and tidying up. It also stands, unmistakably, for witches — the broomstick is inseparable from Halloween and from every witch in fiction. Both meanings are in constant use, and the season usually tells you which one is meant: in October it is a witch, and in March it is a chore.
