"instrument by which a ship is steered,"
☸️from Old English *helma* "rudder; position of guidance, control,"
☸️from Proto-Germanic *helmaz* (source also of Old Norse *hjalm*, Old High German *helmo*, German *Helm* "handle"),
☸️from PIE *kelp* "to hold, grasp".
*Helm*: the handle or tiller, in large ships the wheel, by which the runner is managed; the word is sometimes used with reference to the whole stearing [sic]-gear.
*Rudder* - that part of the helm which consists of a broad piece of timber, enters the water, and is governed by means of the wheel or tiller.
*Tiller* - the bar or lever by means of which the rudder of a ship or boat is turned.
