Armsize

/ˈɑrmˌsaɪz/ noun

Definition

The measurement or dimensions of an arm, used in tailoring or for selecting properly-fitting sleeves and garments.

Etymology

Compound from arm and size. This is a technical term used in the clothing industry.

Kelly Says

Arm size is weirdly complicated because it involves length AND circumference, which is why getting a sleeve that fits perfectly is actually harder than it sounds, and why custom tailoring costs money.
