"arx" meaning in Latin

See arx in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈarks] [Classical-Latin], [ˈarks] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Perhaps from Proto-Italic *arks, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂érk-s, from the root *h₂erk- (“to protect, guard, hold, lock”). De Vaan suggests that the root noun may have been formed innovatively within Proto-Italic itself or perhaps at an even later date. Cognates include Latin arca (“chest, box”), arceō (“to defend”), arcānus (“hidden, secret”), arcera (“covered carriage for sick people”), Old Armenian արգել (argel, “obstacle”) and Ancient Greek ἀρκέω (arkéō, “to ward off, fend off”), Persian ارگ (arg, “citadel”) Etymology templates: {{root|la|ine-pro|*h₂erk-}}, {{etymon|la|:inh|itc-pro:<alt:*arks><ety:inh<ine-pro:<alt:*h₂érk-s><ety:af<ine-pro:*h₂erk-><ine-pro:*-s<id:hysterokinetic>>>>>|id=citadel}} [Appendix:Glossary#inherited|Inherited]] from", "keyword" : "inherited" } ], "lang" : "itc-pro" } ], "keyword_label" : "Inherited from", "keyword" : "inherited" } ], "status" : "ok", "lang_name" : "Latin", "term" : "arx", "lang" : "la" }" data-id="citadel" data-lang="la" data-title="arx" id="Latin:_citadel">, {{inh|la|itc-pro||*arks}} Proto-Italic *arks, {{inh|la|ine-pro||*h₂érk-s}} Proto-Indo-European *h₂érk-s, {{cog|la|arca||chest, box}} Latin arca (“chest, box”), {{cog|xcl|արգել||obstacle}} Old Armenian արգել (argel, “obstacle”), {{cog|grc|ἀρκέω|t=to ward off, fend off}} Ancient Greek ἀρκέω (arkéō, “to ward off, fend off”), {{cog|fa|ارگ||citadel|tr=arg}} Persian ارگ (arg, “citadel”) Head templates: {{la-noun|arx<3.I>|g=f}} arx f (genitive arcis); third declension Inflection templates: {{la-ndecl|arx<3.I>}} Forms: arcis [genitive], no-table-tags [table-tags], arx [nominative, singular], arcēs [nominative, plural], arcis [genitive, singular], arcium [genitive, plural], arcī [dative, singular], arcibus [dative, plural], arcem [accusative, singular], arcēs [accusative, plural], arcīs [accusative, plural], arce [ablative, singular], arcibus [ablative, plural], arx [singular, vocative], arcēs [plural, vocative]

De Vaan suggests that the root noun may have been formed innovatively within Proto-Italic itself or perhaps at an even later date. Cognates include Latin arca (“chest, box”), arceō (“to defend”), arcānus (“hidden, secret”), arcera (“covered carriage for sick people”), Old Armenian արգել (argel, “obstacle”) and Ancient Greek ἀρκέω (arkéō, “to ward off, fend off”), Persian ارگ (arg, “citadel”)",
