About

The word "武器" is formed from the character "武", meaning martial or military, which combines the radicals "止" (stop) and "戈" (spear) to convey the idea of martial force, and the character "器", meaning tool or instrument, composed of four "口" (mouths) surrounding "犬" (dog) to denote a functional device. Together, "武" modifies "器" to create a compound meaning "martial tool", specifically referring to a weapon.
