Definition
A chief fire-starter or artillery specialist; in medieval times, the principal officer in charge of cannons and siege equipment.
Etymology
From French arch- (chief) + bout 'end' + feu 'fire.' This is a borrowed French military term describing the commanding officer of artillery. It emerged as cannon technology developed in medieval warfare, particularly in the 15th-16th centuries.
Kelly Says
When cannons arrived in Europe, somebody had to be in charge of these terrifying new weapons, and that person was called the 'archboutefeu'—literally the 'chief fire-ender.' It's a job title that screams 'I work with explosives and I'm very important about it.'
