gooseneck
Bendable lamp neck
A gooseneck is a curved or flexible connector shaped like a goose's neck—a tight S-curve or arc.
The term appears across domains: a gooseneck lamp has a bendable arm for positioning light, a gooseneck trailer hitch curves down into a truck bed, and gooseneck faucets arch high over sinks.
The shape allows flexibility or clearance where a straight connection wouldn't work.
