The answer
WEDGE
What wedge means
A triangular or wedge-shaped object that is driven between two things to split them apart, secure them in place, or create separation.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *wecg*, related to Old High German *wecki* and likely connected to a root meaning "to move" or "to push." The shape—a triangular piece that splits or forces apart—comes from the tool's function of driving forward and separating. The word has stayed largely unchanged since Anglo-Saxon times.
