means A monumental arch in Paris honoring those who fought and died for France, standing at the center of a traffic circle fed by twelve radiating avenues.

from Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after his victory at Austerlitz, intended to honor his armies — though he fell from power before it was finished, and it wasn't completed until decades later, under a different regime. The name is simply French for 'arch of triumph,' a Roman architectural tradition — emperors built them to march victorious legions through — that Napoleon borrowed wholesale, aiming to out-Rome Rome itself.
