Etymology

arrow +‎ head

Noun

arrowhead (plural arrowheads)

1. (weaponry) The pointed part of an arrow.
   • 1879, R[ichard] J[efferies], chapter II, in The Amateur Poacher, London: Smith, Elder, & Co., […], →OCLC:

     Orion hit a rabbit once; but though sore wounded it got to the bury, and, struggling in, the arrow caught the side of the hole and was drawn out. Indeed, a nail filed sharp is not of much avail as an arrowhead; you must have it barbed, and that was a little beyond our skill.

2. (symbol) The pointed part of an arrow.
3. Any plant in the genus Sagittaria.

Synonyms

• (Sagittaria): duck potato, wapato
