Trident
A trident is a three-
pronged staff or
spear. The French word's origin is from
Latin tridens or tridentis, from tri "three" and dentes "teeth." It was used by both spear-fishermen and military forces. As a hunting tool, it was used for its ability to skewer multiple fish at a time. As a weapon, it was prized for its long reach and ability to trap other long-weapons between prongs to disarm their wielder. Tridents were also famously used by the
retiarii,
Roman gladiators who used a
net to wrap their adversary and a trident to kill him. In the southern
USA, this type of spear, called a gig, is used for catching
bullfrogs,
flounder, and sometimes
carp. This kind of fishing is referred to as
gigging.
