Pellet  

Definición

  • 1. A small metal object that is shot from a gun (Cambridge Dictionary). 2. A pellet (from the English pellet meaning ‘small ball’ or ‘little sphere,’ derived from Old French pelote ‘playing ball’ and Latin pila ‘playing ball,’ ‘bundle,’ ‘heap’—hence also linguistically related to pill and peloton) is a small body made of compressed material in the shape of a sphere or cylinder. The term is usually used in the plural, as pellets are not used individually but as bulk material. (Wikipedia)
