Isn't the origin of the description that it looks like a stick (cane),
and 'sticked' is a modern verbing of that form? That's what I'd
assumed anyway.
Googleing "Sticked option" only linked back to Git.
I know web is not the authoritative source of information ;-) but it
seems that looking for "sticked vs stuck" seems to give me many
explanations that boils down to what this says:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:sticked
and http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stick#English lists "sticked" as
"archaic" when the word is used for "To glue; to attach; to adhere".
