Origin

Old English arm, earm, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch arm and German Arm.

Although they may seem connected, arm meaning ‘part of the body’ and arm meaning ‘a weapon’ are different words. The former is Old English, while the latter came into medieval English from French and ultimately Latin. It is also found in armadillo (late 16th century), from the Spanish for ‘little armed man’; in armistice (early 18th century) from Latin arma and stitium ‘stoppage’; armour (Middle English) and armature (mid 16th century), both from Latin armatura and both originally meaning armour. The long arm of the law is the police force. The phrase was first recorded in Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott (1817) as ‘the arm of the law’, but the more usual form was ‘the strong arm of the law’. The first example of the ‘long’ form is in Charles Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop of 1841. If something costs an arm and a leg it is extremely expensive. The traditional story connects the expression with portrait painting. A pose in which the sitter's arms and legs were all visible might be more difficult to paint, making the portrait more expensive. More likely is that the phrase originates in the idea that a person's arms and legs are very precious to them. It may be an insensitive punning reference to ‘lost an arm and a leg’, a phrase which was all too common in reports of wartime casualties. There is a similar thought behind the much older expression give your right arm for something, meaning ‘to want something very much and be willing to pay a high price for it’.
