The word "cannoned" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "cannon", which derives from the noun "cannon". The noun "cannon" comes from the Old Italian word "canna" meaning "tube" or "pipe". This Italian word was subsequently borrowed into Old French as "canon", and later came into English. In its noun form, "cannon" originally referred to a large, heavy war artillery piece that used gunpowder for propulsion. The verb "cannon" originally meant to discharge, propel, or fire (as with a cannon). Over time, the usage of "cannon" has extended to describe violent collisions or impacts, leading to the past tense and past participle form "cannoned" to describe being subjected to such collision or impact.
