"σφενδόνη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σφενδόνη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /spʰen.dó.nɛː/, /sɸenˈdo.ni/, /sfenˈdo.ni/, /spʰen.dó.nɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /spʰenˈdo.ne̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /sɸenˈdo.ni/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /sfenˈdo.ni/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /sfenˈdo.ni/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Often connected with σφεδανός (sphedanós), σφοδρός (sphodrós), σφαδάζω (sphadázō), and Sanskrit स्पन्दते (spandate, “to vibrate, tremble, quake”), as well as with Latin funda (“sling”), with formation structure similar to that of ἀγχόνη (ankhónē), βελόνη (belónē), and περόνη (perónē). The similarity with the Latin term suggests a Mediterranean, Anatolian, and/or Pre-Greek borrowing for both.
