ΑΡΩ, ἀραρίσκω = to fit; ἄρθρον = joint; ἁρμός = armus = joint, shoulder; ἀρτάω = artio, arto = to fit, to fit in closely; ἄρτιος = fit, exact; artus = close, narrow; ars (artis) = the craft of fitting things; artifex, artificium; Goth. arms = O. H. Germ. aram = Engl. arm; Sanscr. ar = to hit upon, attain; aram = fit, fast; īrmas = arm. Curt.].\n* Lit.\n* What is fitted to the body for its protection, defensive armor, as the shield, coat of mail, helmet, etc.: tot milia armorum, detracta corporibus hostium,Liv. 45, 39: induere arma,id. 30, 31: arma his imperata, galea, clipeum, ocreae, lorica, omnia ex aere,id. 1, 43: pictis et auro caelatis refulgens armis,id. 7, 10.\n* Specifically, a shield: at Lausum socii exanimem super arma ferebant,on a shield,Verg. A. 10, 841: caelestia arma, quae ancilia appellantur,Liv. 1, 20 (v. ancile); id. 8, 30; 1, 37; cf. Verg. A. 1, 119 Heyne; Tac. G. 11 Rup.; Plin. Ep. 5, 6, 43: Aeneas se collegit in arma,gathered himself under his shield,Verg. A. 12, 491.—Hence, in a more extended sense\n* Trop., means of protection, defence, weapons: tenere semper arma (sc. eloquentiae), quibus vel tectus ipse esse possis, vel, etc.,Cic. de Or. 1, 8, 32: prudentiae,id. ib. 1, 38, 172: senectutis,id.

Ep. 1, 16, 67: arma militiae nostrae non carnalia sunt,Vulg. 2 Cor. 10, 4.\n* War (once in opp. to pax, v.infra): silent leges inter arma,Cic. Mil. 4, 10; id. Att. 7, 3, 5: arma civilia,civil war,id. Fam. 2, 16, and Tac. A. 1, 9: civilia arma,id. Agr. 16; id. G. 37 (otherwise, bella civilia, Cic. Off. 1, 25, 86, and Tac. Agr. 13): ab externis armis otium erat,Liv. 3, 14; 9, 1; 3, 69 Drak.; 9, 32; 42, 2; Tac. H. 2, 1 al.: a Rubro Mari arma conatus sit inferre Italiae,Nep. Hann. 2, 1 (for which more freq. bellum inferre alicui, v. infero): ad horrida promptior arma,Ov. M. 1, 126: qui fera nuntiet arma,id. ib. 5, 4; 14, 479: compositis venerantur armis,Hor.

Of implements for grinding and baking: Cerealia arma,the arms of Ceres,Verg. A. 1, 177 (cf. Hom. Od. 7, 232: ἔντεα δαιτός). —Of implements of agriculture, Ov. M. 11, 35: dicendum est, quae sint duris agrestibus arma, Quīs sine nec potuere seri nec surgere messes,Verg. G. 1, 160.—Of the equipments, tackle of a ship (mast, sails, rudder, etc.): colligere arma jubet validisque incumbere remis,Verg.
