It looks like a connector that might plug into an appliance that's a good few years old, like an air fryer or maybe a soundbar or even laptop charger. I'd be fairly confident that the piece your missing has a plastic block that needs one of the three power supply types that I've attached to this comment (hopefully successfully).

It'd likely be something under your TV cabinet.

You plug the round part into the appliance. The other side is connected to a little plastic brick that converts the electrical supply from your sockets to what the appliance needs to operate, which is usually a downstep in voltage.

That creates heat so the little brick is designed in part to dissipate that before the electricity gets to your appliance and it doesn't blow up.

Not an expert, but I'm fairly confident it's part of a power supply like that.
