POMMEL Meaning and Definition

1. Pommel is a noun that refers to the knob-like protrusion found on the handle of certain tools or weapons, particularly swords, daggers, and rapiers. It is typically situated at the opposite end from the blade or sharp-edge portion and is meant to serve as a counterbalance to the weapon. A pommel can be made of various materials, including wood, bone, metal, or stone, and often features a decorative design or ornamentation.

   In addition to providing balance, the pommel also serves functional purposes. It helps secure the grip of the wielder by preventing the hand from slipping off the handle during use. Some pommels may have an ergonomic shape or textured surface to further enhance the grip. Furthermore, a pommel can be utilized as a defensive tool, functioning as a blunt force object to strike an opponent in close combat if necessary.

   Outside the realm of arms, pommel is also used as a verb, meaning to strike or whack with the fist or pommel of a weapon. This usage often conveys the act of attacking someone with the knob part of a weapon, rather than striking with the sharp edge. However, this verb form is less common than the noun usage, which predominantly refers to the knob-shaped handle of weapons.

2. • A knob; any globular ornament; the knob on a sword-hilt; the protuberant part of a saddle-bow.

   • To beat; to beat roughly.

Etymology of POMMEL

The word "pommel" originates from the Old French word "pomel" which means a knob or ball. The term can be traced back to the Latin word "pomellum", a diminutive form of "pomum" meaning fruit or apple. In the context of swords or weapons, the term "pommel" refers to the knob or rounded protrusion at the end of the handle. Over time, the term expanded to be used in various contexts referring to a decorative or functional knob-like feature, such as the handle of a saddle or the rounded top of a vaulting horse.
