单词 lance
释义
lance
(once / 366 pages)
nv

A warrior during the Middle Ages most often carried a lance, or a long, pointed spear, as a weapon.
Throughout history, soldiers mounted on horseback have often carried some variation of a lance — something long and sharp for jabbing at enemy warriors. Lances were carried as far back as ancient Roman armies and as recently as Plains Indians after they were introduced to horses in the eighteenth century. The Latin root word, lancea , means "light spear" or "Spanish spear."
