Etymology

Armat comes from Latin armatus, the past participle of armare, meaning to arm or equip with weapons. That verb derives from arma, the Latin word for weapons or tools. Romanian kept this as a native Latin inheritance, and its form was likely reinforced over time by parallel words in French (armé) and Italian (armato) during the 19th-century modernization of Romanian vocabulary.
