Etymology 1

edit

    From Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rmos (fitting), from the root *h₂er- (to join). armentum is an independent derivation from the same root, as if from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er-mn̥-tom. Cognates include Sanskrit ऋत (ṛtá, order; right; agreement etc.) and अरम् (áram, fitting), Ancient Greek ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, to fit together) and Old Armenian արարի (arari, I made).[1]

    Semantic development was "that what is fitted together" → "tools" → "weapons". Also related to ars, artus, rītus.

    1. arms, weapons of war, weaponry, instruments (implements of warfare)
      Hypernym: tēla (offensive weapons)
      • 27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita 29.4.2.3:

        Meanwhile, [Chiron] looks at the club and the spoils of the lion, and says, “Man [worthy] for these arms, and arms worthy for the man!”
        (The centaur Chiron addresses Hercules who has slain the Nemean lion in close combat.)
      • 1839 [8th century CE], Paulus Diaconus, edited by Karl Otfried Müller, Excerpta ex libris Pompeii Festi De significatione verborum, page 2, line 13:
        Arma propriē dīcuntur ab armīs, id est humerīs, dēpendentia, ut scūtum, gladius, pūgiō, sīca; ut ea, quibus procul proeliāmur, tēla.
        'Arma' 'weapons' are, properly speaking, that which hangs from the 'armi', that is 'shoulders,' such as the shield, sword, dirk, dagger; and such as that using which we fight at a distance, missiles.
      1. defensive arms: armour, shields (etc.)
      2. close-quarter weapons (offensive or defensive)

    4. (metonymic) troops, military forces, the army
    5. weapons as means of defence
    6. (by extension) tools, equipment

    Inherited from Old Spanish arma, from Late Latin arma (weapon), from Latin arma (defensive arms), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rmos (fitting), from the root *h₂er- (to join).

    Noun

    edit

    arma f (plural armas)

    1. weapon, arm
      El arma secretathe secret weapon
      Las armas secretasthe secret weapons
    Usage notes
    edit
    • Before feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like arma, the singular definite article takes the form of el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el arma. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al arma, del arma.
    This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form of un, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una also occurs): un arma or una arma. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna).
    However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) are used: la mejor arma, una buena arma.
    • In these cases, el and un are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latin illa and una, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they are allomorphs of the feminine singular articles la and una.
    • The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun: el arma única, un(a) arma buena.
    • In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las, unas, etc.) are always used.
