lodged
Wedged in place
Lodged means fixed or stuck in place, often where something shouldn't be: A bone lodged in his throat.
It also describes temporary residence—you lodge at an inn, or lodge someone for the night.
To lodge a complaint or objection is to formally submit it.
A bullet lodges in flesh; an idea lodges in memory.
The past tense works as both verb and adjective: The lodged splinter required tweezers.
