Fecifork

/ˈfɛsɪˌfɔrk/ noun

Definition

A fork-like tool with a long handle, historically used in agriculture or warfare, or a variant term for a specific implements.

Etymology

Possibly a compound of Old English or Middle English elements; 'feci-' may relate to Latin 'facere' (to make) or be a variant of other historical tool names, though exact etymology is uncertain.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare in historical records that it might be a regional dialect term for a specific farm tool or weapon that didn't survive into modern usage—sometimes old words for simple implements just vanish from language.
