Etymology

The word 'bullets' originated from the Middle French word 'boulette', which means 'small ball'. The term was first used in the 1570s to refer to small leaden balls used as projectiles in firearms. Over time, the meaning of 'bullets' expanded to include any small metal projectiles fired from guns. In the context of list formatting, the term 'bullet' is derived from its original meaning of a small dot or symbol used to highlight information.
