'Lost' Settings Icon from Home Screen

I have absolutely no idea what I did, but I somehow, someway removed my Settings icon from the Home Screen.

Is there a way to retrieve/replace it without setting the Home Screen back to what was the original factory choices of icons (I've added sa couple pages worth)? This is my preference, but if it can't be accomplished - well, please just tell me how to get it back.

Thank you.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

The Settings Icon cannot be deleted as it is a part of the system. It has moved to another screen or possibly it is hiding in a folder that you have created. After you find it, you can move it back to its place on home screen.
