Etymology[]
[view · edit · purge]The French épée bâtarde and the English "bastard sword" originally had the general sense of "irregular sword" or "sword of uncertain origin". Espée bastarde could also refer to a single-handed sword with a long blade compared to other short swords. Antiquarian usage in the 19th century established the use of "bastard sword" as referring to large two-handed swords. During the 20th century, "bastard sword" was used to refer to "hand-and-a-half swords".
