Unarmed \Un*armed"\, a. [Pref. un- not + armed.]
1. Not armed or armored; having no arms or weapons.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Nat. Hist.) Having no hard and sharp projections, as
spines, prickles, spurs, claws, etc.
[1913 Webster]
3. Not in a state in which it may be detonated; unable to be
detonated; -- used of nuclear and certain other explosive
devices, which, as a safety precaution, are stored and
transported in a state in which normal triggering
mechanisms will not function to cause the device to
detonate. The weapon must first be armed by a separate
action, and only subsequent to such arming will the weapon
be able to detonate.
