#3 Bullet comes from the French word boulette, little ball, though I'm sure the tool's name predates written language, back to the first thrower who realized a uniform projectile size doesn't drift when thrown, and was worth the time to manipulate a natural item into a uniform shape, allowing a human to cause harm without being within claw and tooth.
