A heavy iron or steel bar with a or end. You slide that end under something heavy, or into a gap, and push or twist to lift the thing or force it open. Builders, , and — in stories — all use one. People also use it as a verb: to crowbar a door open, and, more loosely, to crowbar something in, meaning to force an extra idea or job into a place where it does not really fit. The name is probably because the end looks a bit like a crow's foot. It has nothing to do with a crowd of people.
