"arcus" meaning in Latin

See arcus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈar.kʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈar.kus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *arkuos (“bow”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erkʷos (“bow, arrow”). Cognate to Old English earh, whence English arrow, as well as Proto-Slavic *orkyta (“willow”) and Ancient Greek ἄρκευθος (árkeuthos, “juniper”), owing to juniper and willow twigs being used to make bows due to their flexibility.
