Word origin

The term 'pitchfork' originated in the 14th century, combining 'pitch' (to throw or toss) and 'fork' (implement with prongs). It was initially used to describe a tool for pitching hay. The metaphorical use of 'pitchfork' to refer to the music review website emerged in the 21st century with the rise of online music journalism.
