A slender baluster used in a balustrade or in a railing at the edge of a staircase or light well within a building, especially a turned wooden one; the plural form, “the banisters,” refers to all of the balusters, rails, and newel posts within a single stairway and is more commonly used than the more formal balustrade. (Bucher, 1996)
