Etymology
Compound of 重籐 (shigedō, a black-lacquered archery bow wrapped in strips of rattan) + の (no, “bow”, possessive particle) + 弓 (yumi).
The yumi is technically redundant, but is used to clarify the meaning, as shigedō is not a very common word in Japanese.
Might be encountered in some texts as shigetō no yumi, using the unvoiced kan'on reading for the second character.
First attested in The Tale of the Heike of the late 1100s.
