Why is it called a fork?

Old English forca, force (denoting a farm implement), based on Latin furca ‘pitchfork, forked stick’;

Its called a fork because if you were to draw the main project and the projects that "forked" from it would be splitting like a fork.

Have you ever been walking along the road and it splits into two? That's a fork in the road so you pick up the fork but don't eat with it causes its filthy probably so you gotta put it back down and keep moving.

It's just a debased stock split anon. A trick to the eye. Basically every time Bitcoin loses popularity it splits in an attempt to try and bring back interest. Desperation.
