Derived from the prefix dis- (expressing negation or removal) combined with armament, originating from Old French armement and Latin armamentum meaning 'equipment' or 'implements of war'. Over time, the term shifted from referring to the general outfitting of military forces to specifically denoting the reduction, limitation, or elimination of military weapons.
