The dictonary says "windmill" but when I look it up

The dictonary says “windmill” but when I look it up on Google Images, I find deer and children. Could you please clarify?^^

Could it be a weather vane (Wetterhahn)? As to windmill, I know the wings of a windmill are called the vanes.

Hi,
Větrník, Měsíčník and Slunečník are fairy tale names derived from vítr, měsíc and slunce.
Větrník is by accident also a name for a sweet dessert (Cukrář.cz - zpravodajský a informační server ze světa cukrařiny) or for a windmill like toy (http://www.rucniprace.cz/ji_papirovy-vetrnik.php)

Btw., slunečník is accidentally also a name for a beach umbrella and měsíčník means monthly magazine / journal :slight_smile:
