"Hook" refers to a structure or tool consisting of a length of material that contains a portion that is curved or indented, such that the portion can be used to grab onto, connect, or otherwise engage another object. In certain embodiments, one end of the hook can be pointed, so that this end can pierce another material, which may then be held by the curved or indented portion. (Search "hook" on Wikipedia.com Apr. 18, 2022. CC-BY-SA 3.0 Modified. Accessed June 10, 2022.) In certain embodiments, the curved or indented portion may be referred to as a bend. The bend may connect to a free end of the hook that may be referred to as a prong, a spike, a tine, a tip, a barb, a point, a fork, or the like.
