sickle

sickle: [OE] A sickle is etymologically a ‘cutting’ tool. Like its close relatives German sichel and Dutch zikkel, it originated in a prehistoric Germanic borrowing of Latin secula ‘sickle’. This was a derivative of the verb secāre ‘cut’ (source of English section, sector, etc), which in turn went back to the Indo-European base *sek- ‘cut’ (source also of English scythe).
=> scythe, section, segment

Applied to curved or crescent-shaped things from mid-15c. Sickle-cell anemia is first recorded 1922.
