Plural of argent; silver or things made of silver, or in heraldry, the color white/silver.
From Old French argent, from Latin argentum (silver). The plural form retained the Latin root while adapting to English morphology, used especially in heraldic contexts.
In heraldry, 'argent' means white or silver and represents purity and innocence—medieval families would proudly display it on shields, and the term connects a coat of arms to precious metal wealth at a glance.
