figurative note

The core meaning of arm is a limb of the human body from the shoulder to the hand. By extension, arm can mean any offshoot from a larger area, particularly when applied to bodies of water, e.g. an arm of the North Sea. This term is also used in organisations where arm refers to a specific branch or division of a larger whole, as in the manufacturing arm of the company. Arm has also come to mean `power' or `command', especially in the phrase the (long) arm of the law. It is thought that this phrase may derive from a proverb found from 16th century English: Kings have long arms, hands, many ears, and many eyes meaning that royal authority was far-reaching. Arms are seen as valuable commodities in the expressions (cost) an arm and a leg and (would) give one's right arm for something.
