arrow
Shaft with fletching
An arrow is a slender projectile shot from a bow, with a pointed tip at one end and stabilizing feathers at the other.
The shape gives rise to arrow symbols (→, ↑) used to indicate direction: Follow the arrows to the exit.
To arrow somewhere is to move swiftly and directly.
Straight as an arrow means perfectly aligned or honest.
