Langarm

Langarm is a German term formed from lang ("long") and Arm ("arm"), used to describe sleeves or arms of sufficient length. In fashion and retail language it functions as an attributive adjective in compounds and as a noun phrase shorthand in catalog texts. The capitalization of Arm reflects German noun capitalization rules within compounds.

In clothing, Langarm designations describe garments with full-length sleeves. Common compound forms include Langarmshirt (long-sleeve shirt), Langarmbluse (long-sleeve blouse), Langarmpullover (long-sleeve sweater), and Langarmkleid (long-sleeved dress). In retail labeling, you may see phrases such as "Langarm" or "mit Langarm" to indicate long sleeves. The counterpart "Kurzarm" describes short sleeves.

Beyond apparel, the term can appear in technical or mechanical contexts to describe devices with extended reach, such as Langarm-Roboter (long-arm robot) or Langarmwerkzeuge (long-arm tools).

Origin and usage notes: The term is primarily used in German-speaking contexts and is typically encountered in fashion, product descriptions, and technical jargon. It is rarely a standalone term outside these domains.
