The English word howitzer comes from the Czech word houfnice,[1][2][3] from houf, "crowd",[4][5][6] and houf is in turn a borrowing from the Middle High German word Hūfe or Houfe (modern German Haufen), meaning "crowd, throng".[7] Haufen, sometimes in the compound Gewalthaufen, also designated a pike square formation in German.[citation needed]
