What do you call the > thingy in context of the shell?

I can't for the life of me remember what the name is for ">"
My mentor told it to me 20 years ago and I can't remember it now. I know we like to call it re-direct, but there was a name othere than that he used.
During a recent training session, someone cut and paste from a file that just happened to have the prompt included >./runthisscript.sh
yep, zero'd out the script. I want to discuss this tomorrow in class. Does anyone know what this might have been called back in the day?

Thanks

NAME
hoz - file splitter that uses the hacha file format SYNOPSIS
hoz [-pvf] [-c size[K|M]] [-o outpath] inputfname ghoz DESCRIPTION
HOZ is a file splitter, which uses the same file format as the popular 'Hacha' program. OPTIONS
-c --cut cut (file->pieces) -p --paste paste (pieces->file) -v --verbose verbose output -f --force force overwrite of file when pasting -o --outpath specify an output directory -h --help print this help, then exit --version print hoz program version number, then exit USAGE
There are two basic operations: cut and paste. Cut will 'split' a file in pieces. The size of each piece is passed as an option. Each piece will have a numeric extension, starting with 0. So for instance if you 'cut' a file called 'foo.iso', the pieces will be named 'foo.iso.0', 'foo.iso.1' and so on. Paste will 'merge' these pieces and generate and exact copy of the original file. ghoz is the graphical version of hoz, which uses a GTK GUI interface. SEE ALSO
