we used to see that word in latin class studying the campaigns of Caesar. It is generally used as a martial term, as in hurling or casting a javelin. Roman soldiers had a sense of humor, just look up the terms for sword and scabbard. It wasnt easy being a tenth grade latin student, lol

what we need to know was the ‘medical’ terms used in those days. I always thought that the current terms were consciously metaphorical.

I could deal with priests chucking javelins.

Well sorry - that was many years ago and I don't recall it now. However, I still stand by my other post - I've never seen it in reference to religion - not saying that it doesn't exist in that connotation.
