verb · Weak class 1

Meanings

to make poor, impoverish
to make miserable; afflict, oppress

Etymology

From *armaz² + *-(i)janą¹, here forming a deadjectival factitive Weak class 1 verb, literally ‘to make poor or miserable’ (Bailey 1997: 151–152; Orel 2003: 24, s.v. *armjanan). Compare Old English ierman, irman and Old Norse erma; the latter sense appears secondary and probably reflects theological influence (Magnússon 1989: 156, s.v. erma).
