Etymology

In summary

Inherited from Middle French armee, from the feminine past participle of the verb armer; first attested in French circa 1370 (except in Anglo-Norman), borrowed through Anglo-Norman from Medieval Latin armāta (“armed force”), the neuter plural form of the past participle of Latin armō (“to arm”), from arma (“arms, weapons”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rmos (“fitting”), from the root *h₂er- (“to join”). Doublet of armada, a borrowing from Spanish. Displaced Latin exercitus (“army”).
