 fald·stool /ˈfɔl(d)ˌstul/
 無靠背的椅子,跪拜臺,祈禱用小案

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Fald·stool n.  A folding stool, or portable seat, made to fold up in the manner of a camo stool. It was formerly placed in the choir for a bishop, when he offciated in any but his own cathedral church.
 Note:In the modern practice of the Church of England, the term faldstool is given to the reading desk from which the litany is read. This esage is a relic of the ancient use of a lectern folding like a camp stool.
