Etymology

The word 'bayonet' originates from the early 17th century, deriving from the French 'baรฏonnette'. It is believed to have been named after the city of Bayonne in France, where it was first developed. The original bayonets were used by French soldiers and were initially a simple knife blade that could be affixed to a firearm to provide a means of hand-to-hand combat when ammunition was depleted or in close quarters. The use of bayonets spread rapidly among armies across Europe, becoming standard equipment in the 18th and 19th centuries. As warfare evolved, the bayonet became a symbol of military prowess and discipline, although its use has declined with the advent of modern firearms and military tactics.
