the only weapon that asks you to pull yourself together before letting go
means A slender shaft, usually feathered at one end and pointed at the other, shot from a bow — or, by extension, the simple pointing mark (→) that tells your eye which way to go.
from From Old English 'arwe' or 'earh,' tracing back to a Proto-Germanic root and ultimately to a Proto-Indo-European base meaning 'bow' — possibly a cousin of the Latin 'arcus' (bow, arc), which also gives us 'arch' and 'archer.' So the arrow was named not for itself but for the bow that launches it: the thing that belongs to the bow.
