bayonet

bayonet: [17] Bayonet comes from French bayonette, an early spelling of what is now baïonette. The French term is traditionally derived from Bayonne, the name of a town and port on the southwest coast of France, near Biarritz, where bayonets were supposedly first used by Basques of the area, in the 17th century. But this etymology is not universally accepted, and some have noted the resemblance to Old French bayon ‘crossbow bolt’.

bayonet (n.)

1610s, originally a type of dagger; as a steel stabbing weapon fitted to the muzzle of a firearm, from 1670s, from French baionnette (16c.), said to be from Bayonne, city in Gascony where supposedly they first were made; or perhaps it is a diminutive of Old French bayon "crossbow bolt." The city name is from Late Latin baia "bay" + Basque on "good." As a verb from c. 1700.

bayonet（刺刀）：诞生了世界上第一把刺刀的法国小镇巴约纳

英语中表示“刺刀”的单词bayonet就来源于一座法国小镇巴约纳的名字Bayonne。巴约纳是法国南部的一座小镇，距离西班牙仅16公里，在历史上以制作精良刀具著称。据说世界上第一把刺刀就于1647年诞生于这座小镇，1647年开始装备法军。很多人都赞同这么一种说法：17世纪中期的法国农村爆发的军事冲突中，南部城镇巴约纳的士兵在打光了弹药后，急切之中把猎刀的刀柄塞入枪口，作为临时的长矛使用，这可能算是刺刀最初的渊源。
