Latin

edit

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).

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

        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' '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.)

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