A light spear thrown as a weapon or in an athletic competition; in athletics, the discipline of throwing a standardised javelin for distance.
Origin
From Old French javeline or javeline, diminutive of javelot (a spear), from Gaulish *gabalāko- or a related Gaulish word. The Gaulish origin reflects the Celtic tradition of the light throwing spear. Used in English from the early 16th century.
