The Greek word for cross is "σταυρός" (stauros). In ancient Greece, the term was used to refer to an upright stake or pole, often used for executions. Over time, it came to specifically denote the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified in Christian theology.

Why do Jehovah's witnesses call the cross a stake?

Jehovah's Witnesses see the cross as a pagan symbol and believe that it was an upright stake with no crossbeam that Jesus was nailed to.

The word 'stake' or 'tree' is in the Greek manuscripts. Thus Jehovah's Witnesses use the word 'stake', because that's the actual word in the Bible.
