bow definition and meaning

What is a "bow"?

A bow is a tool used to play stringed instruments by drawing it across the strings. It typically consists of a slender, curved stick made from wood or synthetic materials, with a ribbon of horsehair or synthetic fibers stretched between its ends. When the bow is moved across the strings, it creates friction that causes the strings to vibrate, producing sound. Bows are commonly used with instruments like the violin, cello, and double bass, and the technique and pressure applied can significantly affect the tone and dynamics of the music.

A bow is a weapon used for shooting arrows, consisting of a flexible curved piece of material with a string attached at both ends.

Bows have been used in hunting and warfare throughout history and are also used in modern archery as a sport.
