Etymology
editFrom Middle High German helle(n)barte, from older helmbarte, from helm (“stalk”) + barte (“axe”). The modern -d- is Central and Low German (compare Middle Low German hēlenbārde) and/or influenced by French hallebarde, itself from the Middle High German. The stress pattern, too, may hint at French influence, though stress shifts in compound words also occur natively.
