het een een verbasterde samenvoeging van 'bar' en 'belle': een stang waar je mooie dingen mee kunt doen.
voor de dumbbell geldt dan dat je er een mooie domme kracht van wordt (yeaah babyy)
Let vooral op dat vetgedrukte zinnetje moest er zelf om lachenYes, dumbbells have a connection with bells, specifically with campanology, the art of bell ringing. Sometime during the 8th century, church towers began to be built to contain hanging bells. As lofty towers or turrets were being built for these bells, the bells themselves got bigger and bigger. Large-sized bells allowed the inhabitants of the towns and hamlets to hear the bell ringing, even if they weren't near the church. Though at Canterbury in the Middle Ages, there were 24 men required to ring one bell, in general, bells could not be too large because of the difficulty of ringing them. Not only were they difficult to ring, but bell ringing required a great deal of practice. So a device was invented, consisting of a heavy weight suspended from a rope, to be used by novice bell ringers to develop their strength and skill.
Later, a similar device was used by gentlemen wishing to develop their physique. The term dumbbell is first recorded in 1711 in Joseph Addison's writings in The Spectator: "I exercise myself an Hour every Morning upon a dumb Bell...My Landlady and her daughters...never come into my room to disturb me while I am ringing." Since these exercise devices had heavy weights instead of real bells, they were "dumb" in the sense 'silent or mute'. The type of dumbbell with which we are familiar--roundish weights connected by a graspable bar--was in use by the middle of the 18th century, but at that time it was often made of wood.
The earliest recorded sense of dumb is 'lacking the power of speech; mute; silent'. (This is now usually offensive when applied to people.) The later sense 'stupid or ignorant' dates from about 1756, probably influenced by the German word dumm, which has the same meaning. Although a connection is possible, there is no proof of analogy between the two meanings of dumbbell: an exercise device and a stupid person. The slang term dumbbell, in the sense 'a stupid person' came into English around 1918. In this use of the word, dumb means 'stupid or ignorant', and bell probably refers to the head. For example, "to ring someone's bell" is to hit someone very hard on the head.
