armée

From Middle French armee, from the feminine past participle of the verb armer; first attested in French circa 1370 (except in Anglo-Norman), perhaps as an adaptation of Medieval Latin armāta (“armed force”), nominalized feminine form of Latin armātus (“armed”), past participle of armō, armāre (“arm”). Doublet of armada, a borrowing from Spanish.
