 ==Origin==
 {{wikipedia|longsword}}
 In the study of historical weapons, the term ''long sword'' or ''longsword'' refers to a medieval [[two-handed sword]], the adjective "long" describing the long, two-handed grip rather than the length of the blade. The weapon depicted in ''NetHack'' is closer to a [[Wikipedia:Knightly sword|knightly sword]], a single-handed weapon used throughout the Middle Ages that originally developed from Viking weapons&mdash;many modern fantasy works depict long swords in a similar manner. The knightly sword had a thick blade intended primarily for slashing or cutting, although later examples could thrust effectively as well: medieval (two-handed) longswords were often derived from knightly swords, with examples differing from the latter only in the length of the hilt.
 As armor became thicker, the one-handed knightly sword was relegated to the status of a sidearm (referred to as an ''arming sword'' or ''side-sword''), with the two-handed longsword predominating in combat. However, once the advent of firearms rendered metal armor ineffective in war, the single-handed arming sword came to prominence in civilian use, gradually evolving into the light and slender rapier, a weapon intended mainly for thrusting at unarmored targets.
