Answer 2

Answer:

The term arises from a device developed for use in the broad, physical comedy style known as commedia dell'arte in 16th-century Italy.

Explanation:

The "slap stick" consists of two thin slats of wood, which make a "slap" when striking another actor, with less force needed to make a loud—and comical—sound. The physical slapstick remains a key component of the plot in the traditional and popular Punch and Judy puppet show.
