Weapons and military equipment used by armed forces.
From Latin 'armamenta' (equipment, armor), derived from 'armare' (to arm), which comes from 'arma' (weapons, arms). The word evolved to describe all weaponry collectively.
The word 'armaments' uses the same root 'arma' that gives us 'armor,' 'arm,' and even 'armed forces'—Romans used this single word root to describe anything related to warfare and protection!
