Forms: also with lower-case initial.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Armstrong.

Etymology: < the surname Armstrong, identifying the imaginary inventor of non-existent equipment, punningly after arm n.¹ and strong adj. Compare arm-strong adj.

attributive. Designating a tool, method, etc., which requires or involves physical strength or exertion as opposed to mechanical assistance. Also in Armstrong's patent: a tool, machine, etc., that requires physical strength or exertion; the physical strength or exertion required. See Johnny Armstrong n. at Johnny n. Compounds 2.
