An arrow is a thin, pointed stick shot from a bow, used for hunting, sport, or as a weapon. It can also mean a symbol shaped like an arrowhead used to show direction.
From Old English “arwe” or “earh,” of Germanic origin; exact earlier roots are unclear. The basic meaning has long referred to the weapon.
The arrow is one of humanity’s oldest long-distance tools—a simple shape that changed hunting and warfare. On signs and screens today, the arrow still does what it always did: point you straight at a target.
