  meaning of " the two arms " comes that of something which secures, connects, tightens or strengthens, found in.numerous uses of the word, as a carpenter's tool with a crank handle and socket to hold a bit for boring; a beam of
wood
  or metal used to strengthen any building or machine; the straps passing over the shoulders to support the trousers; the leathern thong which slides up and down the cord of a drum, and regulates the tension and the tone; a writing and printing sign ({) for uniting two or more lines of letterpress or music; a nautical
term
  fora rope fastened to the yard for trimming the sails (cf. the corresponding French
term
 
bras
  de vergue). As meaning " a couple " or " pair " the term was first applied to dogs, probably from the leash by which they were coupled in coursing. In architecture " brace mould " is the term for two ressaunts or ogees united together like a brace in printing, sometimes with a small bead between them.
