+
+ ==Etymology==
+ The origin is uncertain.^(OLD 2012)^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan allows a derivation from [[ine-pro|*bʰondʰ-h₂-|t=tie, strap]], from the root *bʰendʰ- "to bind", but also a loanword from an unknown language, which may be the source of [[grc|σφενδόνη|tr=sphendónē|t=sling]] too.^(de Vaan 2008) The TLL thinks it a distortion of the Greek word, made as if from [[m|la|fundō|t=to pour, hurl]].^(TLL) Isidore derived it from the hurling of stones.^(Isidore)^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Plautus, in the ''Poenulus'', where a character says he gave a legion birdlime and slings.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010)^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is a leather strap for hurling stones.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Virgil uses it of a casting net with which a fisherman lashes the river, and Pliny the Elder of the setting of a gem.^(OLD 2012) In medieval Latin it is a purse or pouch.^(Niermeyer 1976) Church Latin glosses it sling.^(Stelten 1995)
