Tomahawk

/ˈtɑːməhɔːk/ noun

Definition

A light ax or hatchet, originally used by Native Americans, with a small head and a long handle.

Etymology

From Powhatan Algonquian 'tamahakan' (to cut down). The word entered English through contact with Eastern Woodland tribes in colonial North America.

Kelly Says

The tomahawk wasn't just a weapon—it was multi-use tool, and some Native American tribes used decorative versions as status symbols; modern firemen still use tomahawks because the design is just that effective.
