The pointed tip of an arrow, typically made of stone, metal, or other hard material. Can also refer to anything shaped like this point.
Compound word from Old English 'arwe' (arrow) + 'heafod' (head). The arrow component traces to Proto-Germanic, while 'head' comes from Proto-Indo-European roots meaning 'top' or 'skull.'
Archaeological arrowheads are among humanity's most abundant artifacts, with some dating back 70,000 years. The distinctive triangular shape has influenced everything from road signs to plant names like arrowhead plants.
