QUÉ SIGNIFICA SWORD EN INGLÉS
Espada
Una espada es un arma usada principalmente para cortar o empujar. La definición precisa del término varía con la época histórica o la región geográfica considerada. Una espada en el sentido más estrecho consiste en una hoja recta con dos bordes y una empuñadura. Sin embargo, en casi todos los casos, el término también puede usarse para referirse a armas con un solo borde. La palabra espada proviene de la vieja espada inglesa, cognada a swert, vieja nórdica sverð, de una raíz proto-indoeuropea * swer- "a herida, a cortar". Las armas no europeas llamadas "espada" incluyen armas de un solo filo como el saif de Oriente Medio, el dao chino y la katana japonesa relacionada. El jian chino es un ejemplo de una espada no europea de doble filo, al igual que los modelos europeos derivados de la espada de hierro de doble filo. Históricamente, la espada se desarrolló en la Edad del Bronce, evolucionando desde la daga; Los primeros ejemplares datan hasta ca. 1600 AC. La espada de la Edad de Hierro se mantuvo bastante corta y sin un crossguard.
