See armentum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [arˈmɛn.tũː] [Classical-Latin], [arˈmɛn.tum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: A reanalysis of the older feminine singular armenta as a neuter plural, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er-mn̥-teh₂, from *h₂er- (“to join”) + *-mn̥ + *-teh₂. Semantic development was "grouping, joining" > "herd". Related to arma. Others (included ancient Romans) refer it to arō (“to plow”).
