"Plucking" has a number of different meanings. It can mean the act of removing rooted structures growing in the skin like hair or feathers.

It can also be the method of playing certain stringed instruments, especially harps or lutes. In this method the tips of the fingers are used to gently draw back the string, which is then released, causing it to vibrate. A harpsichord uses a device called a jack to simulate plucking mechanically. In other instruments such as Guitars, the string is often plucked with the use of a small object called a pick which is firmer that the fingertips.
