Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOMBARD (derived through Med. Lat. and Fr. forms from Gr. (3o(3eiv, to make a humming noise) , a
term
  applied in the
middle
  ages to a sort of
cannon
 , used chiefly in sieges, and throwing heavy
stone
  balls; hence the later use as a verb (see BOMBARDMENT). The name, in various forms, was also given to a medieval musical
instrument
  (" bombard," " bumhart," " pumhart," " pommer "), the forerunner of the
bass
  oboe or schalmey. At the present day a small
primitive
  oboe called bombarde, with eight holes but no keys, is used among the
Breton
  peasants.
