A large, heavy spear specifically designed for hunting wild boars, with a broad blade and sometimes a crossbar to prevent the boar from pushing up the shaft.
Boar + spear. A specialized hunting weapon from medieval times, named for its intended target and distinctive design features that made it effective against powerful wild boars.
Boarspears had special crossbars near the blade—not for decoration, but for safety! When a wounded boar charged at the hunter, the crossbar would stop the boar from sliding up the shaft and goring the hunter with its tusks.
