Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English wǣpn, wēpn, from Proto-West Germanic *wāpn, from Proto-Germanic *wēpną; forms with /aː/, /a/ are possibly from or influenced by Old Norse vápn.
2. The form wepne was originally a plural (from Old English wǣpnu and dissimilation of wepnen), but is often used as a singular, though some instances can be interpreted in either way. See: Old Norse Nouns 'vápn'.
