Answers correct. A farming implement, used for cutting down stalks (e.g. grain of all sorts). Only used as a weapon when a real weapon was not readily available. The connections with death are manifold (and mostly obvious)
"The Grim Reaper" (reaping is what you do with a scythe)
The connection of cutting down grain when it is standing tall (but ripe), just as a human dying though still able to stand
etc.....
