Etymology
Armată comes from Latin armata, the feminine form of armatus, meaning armed. That adjective derives from arma, meaning weapons or tools of war. The word entered Romanian through the same Latin root that gave French armée and Italian armata, and it kept its core sense of an organized, armed force.
