真的武器:放的地方、整套裝備、做的地方
這一組都還在核心畫面裡,只是鏡頭停在不同的位置:房間本身、架上的東西,或把東西做出來的工坊。
noun · B2
A room or building where weapons and armour are kept, for example in a castle, an army base, or a museum.
軍械庫
Picture a room where the weapons are kept: rows of them on shelves, each in its place, waiting for the moment someone needs one. Reach in, take what the job needs, put it back. That one room is the whole word. Sometimes the attention is on the room, sometimes on the things inside it, sometimes on the workshop that made them — and sometimes the weapons on the shelf are not weapons at all, but the skills a person can reach for.
Wiktionary traces armoury through Middle English armerie and Anglo-Norman armurrie to armure ('arms, armour') plus the ending -ie, so the word began as 'the whole business of arms' rather than as one room. That breadth is why it still covers the store, the collection and the workshop at once.
資料把 armoury 追到中古英語 armerie,再往前是盎格魯-諾曼語 armurrie,由 armure(武器、盔甲)加字尾 -ie 組成。它一開始指的是「跟武器有關的那一整套事情」,而不是單一個房間。這正好說明它為什麼同時能指庫房、整批裝備,還有製造的工坊。
Wiktionary entry supplied in evidence packet (source_ref kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:1167959181): "From Middle English armerie, armurie, armorye, from Anglo-Norman armurrie, from armure ('arms, armor') + -ie ('-y'). By surface analysis, armour + -y."
