A catapult is a device used to LAUNCH projectiles, such as stones or arrows, over a great distance. It is also known as a LAUNCHER, flinger, propelling ENGINE, ONAGER, SLINGSHOT, and hurler. The term 'catapult' is derived from the Latin word 'catapulta, ' which means 'to HURL.' The most common type of catapult is the trebuchet, which uses a counterweight to PROPEL its payload. Other types of catapults include the ballista, which uses tension to LAUNCH its payload, and the SCORPION, which uses a torsion spring to LAUNCH its payload. Catapults have been used since ancient times for both military and recreational purposes.
