Definition
A 'honda' is a simple weapon, often called a sling or slingshot, used to throw stones or small objects with force by swinging and releasing them.
Usage & Nuances
In English, 'honda' is not commonly used; 'sling' or 'slingshot' are more typical. In Spanish and Portuguese, 'honda' refers to both the ancient sling and, in some regions, to slingshots (with elastic bands). The word is unrelated to the Japanese car brand of the same spelling.
