    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.

          […] : he orders the mules to be stripped off their saddles and, leaving them only some two small pieces of patchwork to be sat on, be mounted with their muleteers carrying weapons taken from either the prisoners or the sick.
        • 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!”

        • 1839 [8th century CE], Paulus Diaconus, edited by Karl Otfried Müller, Excerpta ex libris Pompeii Festi De significatione verborum, page 2, line 13:

          arma f (plural armas)

          1. weapon, arm
            El arma secreta ― the secret weapon
            Las armas secretas ― the secret weapons
            • 2023 July 24, Paul LeBlanc, Annette Choi, “ANÁLISIS | Estados Unidos supera los 400 tiroteos masivos en lo que va de 2023”, in CNN en Español‎[1]:
              Casi 1 de cada 5 adultos estadounidenses ha tenido un familiar muerto por arma de fuego, incluidos homicidios y suicidios, según una encuesta realizada en 2023 por la KFF (antes conocida como Kaiser Family Foundation). […] “Este es el único país del mundo en el que los hombres que rompen con la realidad exorcizan sus demonios mediante matanzas masivas”, declaró a CNN a principios de este año el senador demócrata Chris Murphy, de Connecticut, que ha hecho de la legislación sobre seguridad de las armas uno de los ejes de su trabajo tras el tiroteo de 2012 en la escuela primaria Sandy Hook.
              (please add an English translation of this quotation)
          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.
