Why is it feminine?

Armi is feminine in Italian because it derives from the Latin neuter plural "arma" (weapons), which Italian inherited as a feminine singular noun—a common pattern where Latin neuter plurals became feminine singulars in Romance languages. The semantic shift from "weapons" (plural) to "weapon/arm" (singular) reinforced its adoption into the feminine gender class.
