The process of putting armor on someone or something, or the armor itself collectively (British spelling).
Present participle of armour (British spelling), from Old French 'armure'. Used both as a gerund (the action) and as a noun describing protective covering.
The armouring process in medieval times could take hours—knights needed help getting into all those pieces correctly, which is why having armor-bearers was basically essential, not optional.
