Usage notes

• This word is only attested in the nominative/accusative plural form palistas. While the Latin and Greek terms from which it is derived are feminine, palist is masculine; its gender may have been changed so that the form palistas matched the Latin accusative plural form ballistās, which appears in the Latin text from which the Old English was translated.
