A baluster is one of the vertical posts supporting a handrail on a staircase, balcony, or porch. These posts are the upright supports you grip indirectly when using a railing. The other options describe different concepts: a stevedore prepares ships, a rodomontade is boastful speech, and a bailiff oversees juries.
