Patience with a weapon attached — aims twice, doubts never, releases once.

means A person who shoots with a bow and arrow, especially one skilled at it.

from Comes from Old French 'archier,' rooted in Latin 'arcus' meaning 'bow' or 'arc' — the same root that gives us 'arc' and 'arch.' The connection is visual: a drawn bow curves into the same shape as an archway or an arc traced in the sky, and Latin speakers saw one word's worth of shape in all three.
