Power supply (AC or DC) that plugs into the wall and has a cord that
attaches to an electronic gadget. It's a bump on the wall, hence
"wall wart".

It's one of those things on the end of a power cord, that's bigger
than a plug. Makes it look like some sort of fungus is growing on the
wall. These are usually power supplies, but can be other things like
remote controls and GFCI adapters.
