Etimoloji
From arcus + ballista. Attested in Vegetius. Some scholars believe that arcuballistae were distinguished from manuballistae, with the latter being torsion-powered and arcuballistae being crossbows. In modern Spanish and Italian a crossbow is called ballesta and balestra respectively, while French and German have arbalète and Armbrust.
