بندق

• فُنْدُق (funduq), بُنْدُوق (bundūq) — archaic, dialectal

From Middle Persian pndk' (pondik, “hazelnut”), from Ancient Greek [κάρυον] Ποντικόν (Pontikón, “Pontic nut”), q.v. From hazelnuts, the sense spread to similarly shaped pebbles used in slings and similar projectile weapons and then to early muskets. In some dialects, the word then came to be used for the slingshots and muskets themselves.
