arms
When referring to weaponry, this term is used almost exclusively in the plural. It carries a formal or legal register, often appearing in official contexts such as "the right to bear arms" or "arms control treaties." Using the singular "arm" to mean a weapon is archaic or highly specialized.
In the context of anatomy or furniture, the word follows standard pluralization. However, it is important to distinguish between the physical limb and the collective term for weaponry, as the latter functions as a plural noun that describes a category of objects rather than a single item.
