fork
Road splits here
Meanings of fork suggest a branching into two (or more) from a single source.
Implements with multiples tines attached to a single handle include the pitch fork, the tuning fork, and of course the fork that you eat with.
A fork in a river or stream is a place where a single stream splits in two, the converse of a confluence.
Something that forks or is forked has a point of division where one becomes two.
When you fork over something, especially money, you transfer it, perhaps unwillingly.
