English

Proper noun

Arc

  1. (historical) A suggested location where the historical figure Joan of Arc, or her father, were from.

Usage notes
  • A place called Arc in Europe is believed by most modern historians to never have existed, and suggestions that Joan of Arc has relation to such a place are ultimately due to a misinterpretation of her father’s surname: a rendering of Old French Darc in modern French as d’Arc (“of Arc”).
