Etymology
[edit]Compound of 重籐 (shigedō, a black-lacquered archery bow wrapped in strips of rattan) + の (no, “bow”, possessive particle) + 弓 (yumi).[1][2]
The yumi is technically redundant, but is used to clarify the meaning, as shigedō is not a very common word in Japanese.
Might be encountered in some texts as shigetō no yumi, using the unvoiced kan'on reading for the second character.[2]
First attested in The Tale of the Heike of the late 1100s.[1]
