Definition of armament

armamentnoun

vũ khí

/ˈɑːməmənt//ˈɑːrməmənt/

The word "armament" originated in the 16th century from the Old French "armeament," which in turn came from the Latin "armamentum" meaning "armed force" or "military equipment." In its original sense, "armament" referred specifically to the act of arming oneself or a group of people for a military campaign or battle. Over time, the word came to primarily refer to the military equipment and weapons themselves, such as guns, tanks, and aircraft. In modern usage, "armament" is commonly used interchangeably with "military hardware" or "weaponry." However, due to its historical roots, it may still carry connotations of preparation for war or military aggression.
