1. Chiefly Freemasonry. (a) Sometimes more fully common gavel. A type of stonemason's hammer, originally used to shape stone by breaking off the corners. Chiefly in symbolic (esp. Masonic) contexts. (b) A stylized version of this, as used by the master or warden of a Masonic lodge (and also by similar officials in other organizations, such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows) as a symbol of authority, esp. to mark particular formal points during meetings.The exact form of the original tool has been a matter of debate, complicated by its being treated as synonymous with setting maul (cf. maul n.¹ 1a) in many early sources. Among Freemasons the gavel has been understood as symbolizing the refining of a person's character by removing vice and excess, and it and the twenty-four-inch gauge have traditionally been the symbolic tools of an apprentice mason. In modern Freemasonry the commonest form of the gavel is that of a wooden hammer with one square flat head and one pointed head.
