guillotine
A mechanical device used in the execution of the death penalty by dropping a heavy beveled blade from a height to quickly cut off the head of the prisoner. The guillotine was officially adopted during the French Revolution. Its original purpose was to provide a more humane, faster, and equal method of execution for all than other cruel methods of execution at the time (such as fire, hanging). It consists of two tall vertical pillars, a beam, a beveled blade with a heavy object, a rope, and a wooden cangue for fixing the prisoner's neck. During the "Reign of Terror" of the French Revolution, the guillotine became a symbol of violence and mass executions.
