Derived from Latin 'armiger' (armor-bearer), composed of 'arma' (arms, weapons) and 'gerere' (to bear or carry), combined with the English suffix '-ous'. Entering English in the 19th century, the term originally denoted one entitled to bear armor and subsequently evolved to describe individuals or families officially entitled to bear a coat of arms.
