To skewer is to pierce right though, usually with a twisting motion as with a Fencing epee or sword.
In cooking a skewer is a piece of metal usuallybetween 6 and 12 inches in length, sharp at one end and often bent into a loop, circle or some sort of handle at the other end.
The sort of implement on which you thread chunks of meat and vegetables to make a kebab for a barbecue.
Can also be used to pierce potatoes for baking - they are baked with the skewer still stuck through them because it conducts heat into the middle of the potato and reduces the cooking time.
Skewers can be used to test if a cake is baked in the middle.

How is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Heat is transferred through a metal skewer by conduction. As one end of the skewer is placed in a heat source, such as a flame, the metal molecules closest to the heat source begin vibrating rapidly. This vibration is then passed along the skewer to the cooler end, transferring heat energy along the length of the skewer.
