Word origin
The word 'munitions' originated in the early 17th century from the French word 'munition', meaning 'provision or equipment'. It was initially used to refer to military supplies and equipment necessary for warfare. Over time, 'munitions' came to specifically denote weapons, ammunition, and related military equipment. The term has been widely used in military contexts to describe the arsenal of weapons and supplies needed for armed conflicts.
