shoot an arrow射箭
“箭,细长的射击武器,用于从弓上射出”,早在14世纪就出现了,源自古英语 arwan,早期为 earh,可能借自古诺尔斯语 ör(属格 örvar),源自原始日耳曼语 *arkhwo(源头还包括哥特语 arhwanza),源自 PIE 词根 *arku-, 源自拉丁语 arcus(参见 arc(n.))。词源意义是“弓上的东西”。在制图等方面,“像箭头的标记”的意义始于1834年。
在古英语中,这是一个罕见的词。更常见的“箭”词汇是 stræl(与斯拉夫语中仍常见的词汇同源,曾在日耳曼语中广泛使用,相关词汇意为“闪光,条纹”)和 fla, flan(-n 可能被误认为是复数形式),源自古诺尔斯语,一种北日耳曼语,最初可能具有“碎片”的意义。 Stræl 在1200年前消失; fla 在早期中古英语中变成 flo,并在苏格兰一直存在到1500年之后。
Robyn bent his joly bowe,
Therein he set a flo.
["Robyn and Gandelyn," in a minstrel book from c. 1450 in the British Museum]
罗宾弯曲了他漂亮的弓,
在那里他放了一支箭。
[“罗宾和甘德林”,收录于英国博物馆约1450年的吟游诗人书中]

Noun Middle English arwe, arowe, going back to Old English earh (strong noun, probably neuter), arwe, arewe (weak feminine noun), going back to Germanic *arhwō- "arrow," presumably originally an adjectival derivative "belonging to the bow" (whence also Old Icelandic ǫr, genitive ǫrvar "arrow," and, with an additional suffix, Gothic arhwazna), going back to dialectal Indo-European *arkw- "bow," whence also Latin arcus "bow, rainbow, arch" Note: See the Oxford English Dictionary, third edition, for details of the Old and Middle English developments. The editors point out that earh is a rare poetic word, occurring mainly in the compound earhfaru "flight of arrows," the more usual older words for "arrow" being strǣl and flā; the popularity of arwe in later Old English prose may have resulted from influence of the Old Norse word. — The etymon *arkw- "bow" (*h2erkw- if *a is excluded as a possible vowel) has been compared with various names for plants, as Greek árkeuthos "juniper (Juniperus macrocarpa)," Russian rakíta (for *rokíta by vowel reduction) "the willow Salix fragilis," Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian ràkita "osier (Salix viminalis)" (both from Slavic *orkyta), Latvian ẽrcis "juniper." The presumed connection would be from the use of wood from these small trees as material for bows, though this is questionable (especially in the case of willows). In any case both sets of words appear to be of substratal origin. Verb derivative of arrow >entry 1
The first known use of arrow was before the 12th century
