Andiron

and′ī-urn, n. the iron bars which support the ends of the logs in a wood fire, or in which a spit turns. [O. Fr. andier (Mod. Fr. landier — l'andier ); Low. L. anderius , andena ; further ety. dubious, perhaps ultimately cog. with End . The termination was early confused with iron , hence the spellings and-iron , hand-iron .]
