Etymology
The word 'army' originated from Middle English 'armee', from Old French 'armee', feminine past participle of armer, meaning 'to provide with weapons'. The term has been used since the 14th century to refer to a large organized military force. Over time, 'army' has come to represent not only military forces but also large groups of people united for a common purpose.
