| 释义 | munition (once / 1606 pages) nv Munitions are a collection of weapons and any equipment that goes with them. An army's cache of guns and bullets are its munitions. You'll usually see the noun munitions in its plural form, since it refers to arms and ammunition collectively, as a group. The word comes up mostly in discussions of wars and battles and the military. A munitions factory is the place where these supplies are made, and a munitions worker is someone who labors there. As a verb, munition means "to supply with weapons." The Latin root is munitionem, "a defending or protecting."
