the.com/garden rake

means A long-handled tool with a row of rigid tines used to gather leaves, loosen soil, or smooth dirt and gravel.

from Simple and old: 'rake' traces back through Old English 'raca' or 'racu' to a Germanic root meaning 'to scrape or gather,' the same ancestor that gave German 'Rechen' and Dutch 'hark' their raking tools. 'Garden' arrived separately, from Old North French 'gardin,' itself from a Germanic root related to 'yard' — an enclosed, cultivated space. The two words didn't fuse into a fixed compound until rakes needed distinguishing from their rougher cousins, like hay rakes built for fields, not flowerbeds.
