A piece of wood for fitting into a cavity in another piece to form a joint (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenon
(Other definitions for tenon that I've seen before include "End of a piece of wood shaped to form a mortise joint" , "Wooden projection shaped to fit in a mortise joint" , "piece of carpentry?" , "Type of small saw" , "Piece of wood that fits into a mortise" .)
