Yes, the term "winch" was used in medieval times, but it primarily referred to a type of mechanical device used for lifting or hoisting. While the word itself may have been used in derogatory contexts to describe women, it was not a common term specifically for women. Instead, women were often referred to by various other terms, depending on their social status, occupation, or role in society. Overall, the use of "winch" as a term for women was not widespread or standard in medieval vernacular.
