During the Middle ages and early Renaissance the medieval versions of the word were used not only for bowed instruments in general but also for one particular type known today as the "medieval fiddle."

Wikipedia description:
Bowed string instruments are a subcategory of string instruments that are played by a bow rubbing the strings. The bow rubbing the string causes vibration which the instrument emits as sound. Despite the numerous specialist studies devoted to the origin of bowing, the origin of bowing remains unknown.
