Etymology of BAYONETTED

The word "bayonetted" is derived from the noun "bayonet", which originated from the French word "baïonnette". The French term stems from the town of Bayonne in southern France. In the 17th century, Bayonne was renowned for its production and manufacture of knives, including a type of dagger-like weapon with a long, narrow blade called "baïonnette".

The weapon became popular among French soldiers during the 17th and 18th centuries, and its usage spread throughout Europe. As the weapon gained notoriety, the verb form "bayonet" emerged to describe the action of stabbing or impaling someone with a bayonet. This led to the creation of the past participle form "bayonetted", indicating someone or something that has been stabbed or impaled with a bayonet.
