词源：
sling (n.1)c. 1300, “hand-held implement for throwing stones” (consisting of a strap and two strings), from an unidentified continental Germanic source (such as Middle Low German slinge “a sling”) from verbs meaning “swing to and fro, wind, twist” (see sling (v.1)).
The notion probably is of being twisted and twirled before it is released. The piece of stone or metal hurled from it is a sling-stone (late 14c.). The older English word for this ancient weapon was lithere (Old English liþere, related to leather).
Some of the sense developments might have been influenced by Low German cognates. The sense of “loop for lifting or carrying heavy objects” is recorded by early 14c. As “leather shoulder strap for a rifle, etc.,” by 1711. The meaning “piece of cloth tied in a hanging loop around the neck to support an injured arm” is attested by 1720. A Middle English medical word for “sling or supporting loop used in treating dislocations” was stremb (early 15c., Chauliac, who also has suspensorie), from Medieval Latin stremba.
The Greeks, Romans, and Carthaginians had bodies of slingers attached to their armies, recruited especially from the inhabitants of the Balearic Isles. The use of the sling continued among European armies to the sixteenth century, at which time it was employed to hurl grenades. [Century Dictionary]

吊索 (n.1)c. 1300，“用于投掷石块的手持工具”（由一条带子和两根绳子组成），来自不明的大陆日耳曼语源（例如中古低地德语的投石器“投石器”），来自动词，意思是“来回摆动，风，扭转”（参见吊带（第 1 节））。这个想法可能是在发布之前被扭曲和旋转的。从其中抛出的一块石头或金属是弹石（14世纪晚期）。这种古代武器的古英语单词是 lithere（古英语 liþere，与皮革有关）。某些意义的发展可能受到低地德语同源词的影响。 “用于提升或搬运重物的循环”的含义是在 14 世纪初期记录的。 1711 年，它被称为“步枪等用的皮革肩带”。1720 年，它的意思是“挂在脖子上的一块布，用来支撑受伤的手臂”。中古英语医学单词，意为“吊带或吊带”。用于治疗脱位的支撑环”是 stremb（15 世纪早期，Chauliac，也有 Suspensorie），源自中世纪拉丁语 stremba。希腊人、罗马人和迦太基人的军队中都有投石手，这些投石手主要是从巴利阿里群岛的居民中招募的。投石器的使用在欧洲军队中一直持续到十六世纪，当时它被用来投掷手榴弹。 [世纪词典]相关词条及更多
