Bombarde

/bɒmˈbɑːrd/ noun

Definition

An early type of cannon or large-bore firearm used in medieval and Renaissance warfare, typically made of bronze.

Etymology

From Old French 'bombarde', possibly from 'bombe' (bomb) combined with Germanic elements, or from Latin 'bombarda' describing early explosive weapons that made booming sounds.

Kelly Says

The word 'bombarde' literally sounds like what it did—the name itself imitates the deep, thunderous 'boom' of the first cannons that terrorized medieval castle walls!
