Definition
Acts of attacking with explosive devices, typically as acts of war, terrorism, or sabotage. The plural form refers to multiple such attacks or the general practice of using bombs.
Etymology
From 'bomb' (17th century French 'bombe' from Latin 'bombus' meaning 'booming sound') plus the gerund suffix '-ing.' The military/terrorist sense developed during World War I when aerial bombing became common.
Kelly Says
The word 'bomb' originally just meant any loud noise, coming from the Greek word for the sound of a bee buzzing. It's grimly ironic that such an innocent acoustic term evolved to describe one of humanity's most destructive practices.
