I am running Monterey on a 2021 iMac. Some days ago, the "Macintosh HD" icon disappeared from my desktop - I didn't notice at the time, but it has not returned. How do I encourage it to reappear at the top right of my desktop, please?

Thanks, LeRoyDouglas, I'm helped. I take your point about the icon sitting there for years, I'd guess, sometimes, never being prodded - but when it vanishes you can't help but wonder Is This A Sign?
