also: もろうで
noun
Refers to both of a person's arms. Common in contexts of strength, carrying, or physical ability.
彼は両腕に大きな荷物を抱えていた。
He was carrying a large load in both arms.
両腕を大きく回してストレッチをする。
I stretch by swinging both arms in big circles.
Rare reading; the kanji form 両腕 is normally read りょううで.
片腕 means 'one arm' or 'a single arm', while 両腕 means 'both arms'.
Compound of 両 (ryō, 'both') and 腕 (ude, 'arm'). The reading もろうで is a rare alternative using the native reading of 両.
