The hatchet as an image would have been a pure illustration of a commoner’s weapon within the middle ages, and it’s fascinating that the US and British expressions seem to have arisen quite independently of each other in two entirely different cultures.

Strangely there’s little or no etymological reference to the quite common ‘sitting duck’ expression. Cassells suggests it was first popularised by the navy in the course of the 1940s, though given the old school formation of the time period its true origins might be a lot earlier, and logically could possibly be as old as using weapons and game capturing, which was late 16th century.
