What is a cog?

I've heard the word "cog" in magic atricles & posts, but I don't know what
it means or from whence it originates. Would someone please shed some light
on this?

also refered to as the part that make a combo work. Not the big bits,
just the little cogs that let the big effect happen many times. (hence
how they helped 5d be the combo block, by putting in cogs, enablers
and vents)
