Etymology
Likely a shortening of the more common 重籐の弓 (shigedō no yumi, a black-lacquered archery bow wrapped in strips of rattan), omitting the possessive particle の (no).
Alternatively, a compound of 重籐 (shigedō, a black-lacquered archery bow wrapped in strips of rattan) + 弓 (yumi, “bow”).
The yumi is technically redundant, but is used to clarify the meaning, as shigedō is not a very common word in Japanese.
