'Arms' is the answer in my opinion. That's 'a' from the clue + rms, the abbreviation (ie reduced) for root mean square a mathematical concept used in standard deviations in statistics. To 'arm' means to 'supply' in sentences such as "Armed with this information, I was able to..." Sorry, but I just can't see how 'gris' answers the clue!

I agree with you QM, this sounds more plausible. The other reply was given by kayakamina, and who's to go against his answers ?
