arme

common nounverb

Syllable Decomposition

arme

from Latin arma (weapons, soldiers in arms), which is a plural neuter with a collective sense of 'things to defend oneself with' (see armare for a detailed explanation). From this plural collective, the Romance languages have made a singular feminine. This neuter plural origin explains that the plural of the word does not have exactly the same meaning as the singular.
