The word applies to both crossbow and arbalest (the latter may be referred to as a heavy crossbow, but an actual heavy crossbow may not be the same as an arbalest).

Modern French uses the word arbalète, which is linguistically one step further from the stem (disappearance of the s phoneme in the last syllable, before the t). Arbalest is a Medieval French word originating from the Roman name arcuballista (from arcus 'bow' + ballista 'missile-throwing engine'), which was then used for crossbows, although originally used for types of artillery. The term "arbalest" is sometimes used interchangeably with "crossbow". A skilled arbalestier (arbalester) could loose two bolts per minute. However, the greater draw weight was offset by a shorter draw length, which limited the total potential energy that could be transferred into the crossbow bolt. Since the arbalest was much larger than earlier crossbows, and because of the greater tensile strength of steel, it had a greater force.
A large weapon, the arbalest had a steel prod (the "bow" portion of the weapon). The arbalest (also arblast) was a late variation of the crossbow coming into use in Europe during the 12th century.
