Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Middle French armee, from the feminine past participle of the verb armer; first attested in French circa 1370 (except in Anglo-Norman), borrowed through Anglo-Norman from Medieval Latin armāta (armed force), the neuter plural form of the past participle of Latin armō (to arm), from arma (arms, weapons), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rmos (fitting), from the root *h₂er- (to join). Doublet of armada, a borrowing from Spanish. Displaced Latin exercitus (army).
