A Stickler is someone who unyieldingly insists on something. The earliest Sticklers were umpires or referees at Wrestling or Fencing matches. The word comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Stihtan' - to arrange or regulate. I must admit I had a good idea where it came from. I saw an article in our 1860 newspapers about Cornish wrestling and the referees were called "sticklers". So I presumed it was a Cornish word but maybe it had currency in Wales and Ireland too.
