Brit.

/ˈɑːm(ə)ri/, U.S.

/ˈɑrm(ə)ri/

Forms: Middle English armerie, Middle English armore, Middle English armourry, Middle English armurie, Middle English armurre, Middle English armury, Middle English armurye, Middle English–1500s armery, Middle English–1500s armorye, Middle English–1600s armorie, 1500s armary, 1500s armeri, 1500s–1600s armourie, 1500s– armory (now chiefly U.S.), 1500s– armoury. N.E.D. (1885) also records a form Middle English armary.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French armuré, armurie.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman armuré, armurré, armurie, armurrie armour collectively (late 13th cent. or earlier), arsenal (late 14th cent. or earlier), probably < armur , armure armour n. + -rie -ry suffix. Compare Middle French armurie collection of arms (1540), French armorie arsenal (1611 in Cotgrave, subsequently from 1845), which probably developed by haplology from armeurerie (see below). Compare also Middle French armoirie , armoyerie arsenal (late 14th cent.; < armoyer (see armory n.) + -erie -ery suffix) and Middle French, French armurerie , †armeurerie arsenal (a1359), workshop of an armourer (1572; < armeurier , armurier armourer n. + -erie -ery suffix). In senses 3 and 5 probably influenced by association with armourer n. Compare later armory n., and (with sense 2b) β. forms at aumbry n.In form armary probably by association with classical Latin armārium (see aumbry n.).

1. Armour collectively; weaponry. Also figurative. Now rare (archaic or historical).
