Missing Settings (gear symbol) icon on homescreen and apps on S5.

My settings icon is missing from my homescreen on my Galaxy S5 and it is not in my Apps list either. Please help me get my icon back on my homescreen.

Can you get into your Widgets and see if there's a Settings shortcut widget ?

I am so new to this I don't know what it is,
or how to use a widget, yet
