In heraldry, divided into a fork or having a forked ending, like a forked tail.
From Old French 'fourche' (fork) with the heraldic suffix '-ée' indicating a divided or decorated feature in coat of arms.
Heraldic language is like a secret code—'fourchée' tells you exactly how to draw something in a coat of arms, and it's been standardized for centuries so medieval heralds could reproduce designs perfectly!
