Etymology
1. Probably from French pistole, ultimately from Czech píšťala (“firearm”, literally “tube, pipe”), from pištěti (“to whistle”), of imitative origin.
2. Perhaps, however, from Italian pistolese (“from Pistoia (a city in Tuscany)”). See: French Nouns '
pistole', Czech Nouns '
píšťala', Italian Nouns '
pistolese'.
