The arbalest was a late variation of the crossbow coming into use in Europe during the 12th century. A large weapon, the arbalest had a steel prod. Since an arbalest was much larger than earlier crossbows, and because of the greater tensile strength of steel, it had a greater force.
Susurrus also occurs as an English noun, with the meaning a whispering or rustling sound. Of the two English words, the noun is the older (it debuted in 1826); susurrous came onto the scene about thirty years later. Both of these were preceded by the noun susurration, which appeared in the 14th century and means a whispering sound, or murmur.
