Origin:
The word "dagger" has been used in English since the 14th century. It comes from the Middle English word "dagger," which in turn comes from the Old French word "dague." The Old French word is derived from the Latin word "daca," which means "to cut" or "divide." The Latin word is ultimately derived from the Greek verb "daíō," which also means "to cut" or "divide."
The dagger has been used as a weapon throughout history, both for self-defense and for assassination. In the Middle Ages, daggers were often carried by knights and other soldiers. They were also used by civilians for self-protection. In the 16th and 17th centuries, daggers became popular as fashionable accessories for both men and women. Today, daggers are still used as weapons, but they are also collected by enthusiasts and used as decorative objects.
