    [Noun]  | "ar*til*lery" | \ är-ˈti-lə-rē \


    1: weapons (such as bows, slings, and catapults) for discharging missiles

    2: large bore mounted firearms (such as guns, howitzers, and rockets) : ordnance; especially : such ordnance that is capable of long-range indirect fire at a target too distant to be seen

    3: a branch of an army armed with artillery

    Origin: 15th century ;

     Middle English artilrie, artillerie "instruments of war, weapons for discharging missiles," borrowed from Anglo-French & continental Middle French artelrie, artillerie, from Old French artillier "to equip, provide with instruments of war" (alteration, probably after art "skill, craft, {see: |art:1|art:1}" and its derivatives, of atiller, atillier "to order, adjust, put on pieces of armor") + -rie, -erie {see: |-ery|-ery}; atiller, atillier going back to Vulgar Latin *apticulāre, from Latin aptāre "to put into position, bring to bear, make ready" + Vulgar Latin *-iculāre, as in *appariculāre "to prepare, equip, {see: |apparel:2|apparel:2}" {mat|adapt|};

      * Note : The expected outcome of *apticulāre would be *ateiller rather than atiller, which would appear to derive from *aptīculāre; the discrepancy has been explained as a result of interference from the semantically similar verb atirier, atirer "to equip, prepare" (see: {attire:1|attire:1}).;
