Merriam-Webster defines the word “stake” as:1: a pointed piece of wood or other material driven or to be driven into the ground as a marker or support
2: a: a post to which a person is bound for execution by burning b: execution by burning at a stake
3: a: something that is staked for gain or loss b: the prize in a contest c: an interest or share in an undertaking or enterprise
4: a Mormon territorial jurisdiction comprising a group of wards
