Lance
The term lance has become a catchall for a variety of different
pole weapons based on the
spear. The name is derived from
lancea,
Roman auxiliaries'
javelin, although according to the
OED, the word may be of
Iberian origin. A lance in the original sense is a light throwing spear, or
javelin. The English verb to launch "fling, hurl, throw" is derived from the term (via Old French lancier), as well as the more rare or poetical to lance. Paradoxically, the term from the 17th century came to refer specifically to spears not thrown, used for thrusting by
heavy cavalry, and especially in
jousting. A thrusting spear which is used by infantry is usually referred to as a
pike. The first use of the lance in this sense was made by the
Sarmatian and
Parthian cataphractes from
ca. the 3rd century
BC.
