Definition
A small portable mortar or cannon used in 17th-18th century warfare, named after its inventor.
Etymology
Named after Dutch military engineer Menno van Coehoorn (1641-1704), who designed this weapon. The device bore his Anglicized surname.
Kelly Says
The cohorn was revolutionary because it was light enough for foot soldiers to carry but powerful enough to breach fortifications—a weapon that changed how armies fought during the age of castles and sieges.
